Baby It's Hot!!!
I've been saying this to myself for weeks now, but I do live in Florida where it's hot pretty much year round. So what do you do when it's too hot to play outside? You stay in your air conditioned studio and paint what you're feeling. Introducing "Summer Solstice" friends. Hope you will enjoy it.
Summer Solstice, 20 x 24 acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
This painting was partly inspired by the summer solstice this week and our recent trip to Santa Fe, NM. You could probably pick up on the southwestern colors used. While in Santa Fe we visited so many fabulous art galleries and museums. To say I was in heaven is an understatement. Santa Fe is an artists' town, and I felt very much at home. Can't wait to start planning our next trip.
While I was away Fine Art America came out with some awesome new products for my art. Can't wait to share with you. There's a new weekender bag and beach towels!!!! And more!!!!
Loving this new Weekender Bag. Perfect for weekend getaways at the beach.
Then there's the new beach towels. So very cool!!! Traditional rectangular and round. Check 'em out below.
Traditional beach towel comes in two sizes
And now the groovy new round beach towel. How cool is this?

And, of course this design is also available on throw pillows, tote bags, Iphone and Galaxy phone cases, shower curtains, duvet covers and MORE.
I'm preparing for my first solo show event in September. Painting my little heart out and so excited. If you're in the area I'll be sharing more information as the event gets closer. I'd love to see you there.
Wherever your summer plans take you I hope you have a wonderful time making memories. Don't forget to wear a hat and sunscreen.
Blessings to all, Mary
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
