SUMMER

This selection of paintings depict how I see summer.
I haven't selected famous paintings, most of these are contemporary with unknown artists.

"Wildflowers and summer" by Stephen Darbishire
 "Summer wind" by Mark Shasha
"Mount Maceden" by Peter Gerasmon
If someone asked me to describe summer in Australia - this is what I would describe, the painting says it all.  I can even smell that dry grass and eucalyptus trees.
"Summer in Masuren" by Fasani
"Surfing before a storm" by Elizabeth Moore Golding
painting by Roberta Baer
As children, we often ate fresh strawberries, picked from the garden in summer - they smelt divine!!  And occasionally as topping on Pavlova.

  7. Joyfulmum: I did try to find a painting that showed the heat, but no possible. I am not a lover of a hot summers day. At the moment the weather has been lovely, around 25C and I find this perfect.

  8. These are the most beautiful paintings.
    Certain art has the power to calm us down and relieve stress.
    Especilly when its a picture of God's beautiful creation.

  9. Lady Rose - Pavlova is a wonderful dessert which we eat in Australia, quite often in summer. I have attached a recipe. I usually cover mine with strawberries and cream. The base is similar to a meringue but crispy on the outside and marshmallow on the inside.

  10. Oh my gosh - these are so lovely Jo! I love them all - how could I even choose. They each take me to a special place in my soul - the Wildflowers and Summer makes me want to be there at that beautiful window!

    Did you get a new kitty - Baby Charlie? I love his little white feet!

  11. No Vicki, that is Charlie as a baby, three years ago. She is now all grown up, but such a small little thing compared to Ruby who is double her size and only one hear old!!

  12. Hi Jo~love these summer pictures, especially as it is grey, cold and wet over here. I like the one with the ladies in their feminine dress...so much more lovely than the naked bodies that walk the lakes and beaches nowadays.

    Your new profile picture is very beautiful.
