Summer Sunshine

We’re in the middle of a heat wave, with daily temperatures in the nineties.  It’s not a sunny heat wave. It’s a rainy one.  It’s humid, so humid, and raining so hard I think we are in the middle of a monsoon.  If the sun was out, it would be drier, but the temperatures would be into the hundreds.  The sun here is brutal!

All I can say is, thank goodness for air conditioning!  I’ve been quite happy indoors painting and watching the rain through my window.
I made a Squash Book to be used as a mini art journal and made bright summery front and back covers for it.  They were both done on 140 lb cold press watercolor paper (a nice weight for a cover) with acrylics and ink.

I  “arted” on a few of the inner segments, but I won’t show you inside, because I want it’s recipient to see it first. 
This next piece is a little cooler, but still summery I think.  She makes me think of summer nights.

  1. I very much like all your art here, the gentle sun, your lovely abstract book covers and your angel, love the background you have made for her too.
