“I will shimmer like summer breeze” is a celebration of summer freedom.
I painted this work outside (“plein air”) in the summer, on a picnic rug at a nearby park (several sessions).

I painted all but the final layers without looking at the page, to keep my movements and rhythms as true as possible to what I was seeing shimmer through the trees that surrounded me.
