“Return to Summerland” – This piece is about being away from the Lord for a while (the winter wasteland), and then returning (summer gardens with warm fruit). I wanted to have some art in the calendar that wasn’t all dark and gloomy. It was originally titled “Leaving Summerland” and had a little girl walking out of the nice forest into the gloomy winter, but I changed it to have a happier meaning. The title is a little reference to the King’s X song “Summerland”. Notice that winter is giving way to summer. My wife thinks that it should be a cover for a Heart album. 
Restore us, O Lord, and bring us back to you again!
Give us back the joys we once had!
Lamentations 5:21 [show] Restore us to yourself, O LORD, that we may be restored!
Renew our days as of old--
