Illustration Friday - Midsummer Night




Midsummer Night


6" x 8", acrylic

Bon fires are a Midsummer Night tradition all over the world and have been for thousands of years. I painted this in honor of Midsummer Night (and for IF), which is tonight according to some calendars. I imagine this to be an English country side somewhere a long, long time ago. The fires were to protect from the spirits thought to be present on this night.

So Happy Midsummer Night to all!
