Rain's Thursday Art Date - heat wave

Hi Everybody!

Rain's theme has come at the right time, as we are having a heat-wave here just now. Those who know me know that hot, summer weather is not my thing. I like the sun and blue skies, but anything more than 24 -25° is too hot to handle for me! Okay, it might be easier  with a pool in the garden and air conditioning, and perhaps a butler to bring me iced coffee or cocktails, but such luxuries are unfortunately not available!

I have dug out some artwork which reminds me of hot and sunny weather:

This is a book cover from Susan Flett Swiderski's lovely book, and the cover photo is   the view from my balcony:

Blue skies, sunshine and dragonflies are harbingers of summer:

I love painting with summer colours even if I'm not a summer fan:

Cold drinks are welcome:

This is not directly a summer piece, but has hot, summer colours:

Flowers  and children love the summer warmth:

And some people like dancing themselves warm whatever the weather:

And some photos showing the sun rise on a hot and sunny day:

And whatever the temperature - keep cool!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
