watermelon girl

Watermelon is the theme for the last week of ice cream inspirations and is most perfect considering this horrend heat wave, here in Greece! the temps went up to 106F. not the most pleasant weather to be painting... but here is my BB girl, immersed in a huge watermelon to cool off!
A big thanks to Kristin for hosting this wonderful challenge :) this has been most fun :))
My goal for the next few weeks, is to prepare my journal, so I can take it with me to the Greek islands...sigh... sitting by the beach and painting... ohhhh can't wait!!
Hope you are having a great summer, my friend!
xoxo

    Love your watermelon girl! Have a wonderful vacation. Hope it cools off some! The heat has been terrible in Missouri--over 100 almost every day. Brutal!

    Your Watermelon Girl has the right idea!
    How ever do you survive in such heat?
    Enjoy the beach. Happy summer to you.

    Hi, Joanna. I agree, water melon is a great subject for the heat. Lovely piece. You're quite courageous to paint in the heat. I can only manage hand stitching while glued to the AC. 110 F in the shade today. Only my fingers can manage to move!
    best, nadia
