Cool summer

I don't know the name of this picture, but in my opinion I call it is cool summer. Firstly, when i saw this image, behind of girl's body attract my view, it show me some feeling the weather is very hot, because she is wearing the bikini, I'm not sure in front of her is the sea or river but I can understand that she feel very hot and she want to go to the sea (or river) to swim so she wear bikini to enjoy the cool water and take away the hot feeling. However, every feeling also begin of our mind. So the artist didn't show the head of the girl, and replace with something is like butterfly, speaker, flower, and we can see a deer above the flower, Do you see the bird on the sky ? My feeling in all of those thing are lightly, relax, freedom, I'm standing on a top of feeling, I'm enjoying a great holiday. In all thing i saw on the image, I think this is a advertise of new product of speaker, I think it's new because some paint is still wet and it drop down on the back of the girl, it tell me that this is just completed and the paint still wet. In this advertise, showed me that use this speaker, I will forget the hot weather in summer, I will feel cool weather, I will have comfortable when use it.
