With the hot weather bearing down I was inspired to do some 'hot day' paintings. Since we don't have air conditioning (by choice) we can really feel it in the apartment, but I don't mind much. There is a massive wall ivy growing on the sunny side of the apartment which must absorb a lot of heat, essentially providing shade. The painting signifies heat and energy, with some tendril-like sun beams radiating downwards. It was also a palette cleanser, after doing a series of night paintings there was quite a mess on the palette! With even hotter weather predicted I will be location painting either early in the day or late at night. This painting is kind of neat, I will put in our frame here, which gets rotated every so often with a new painting.
