What is Summer Dreams all about

Here it is the photo of the complete painting without me blocking it. This 24x36 unframed acrylic is the largest canvas I have done to date. There is a slightly larger blank waiting for me but I am working on several smaller things right now. While bigger is not always better I enjoyed the freedom this work allowed me. The subtle details I was able to explore.
Not so evident in the photo are some of the details that make this piece fun to look at. Lower left there is a serpent in the water, above it a dragon peeks around the side of the ruin. On the horizon some ghost ships and the clouds are knights fighting; with a maiden on horseback looking on. Several myths rolled into one girl's dreams.
