24x20 inches acrylic on canvas
Warm is not the word to describe the temperatures in the US northeastern cities this week -over 100 F(37 C +) and humid! This painting describes perfectly what it feels like outdoors here. I hope it is cooler where you are! I am trying to remain calm and meditative at the moment. The air conditioning can’t keep up and I am sticking to just about everything. Is your art influenced by the weather? I clearly am experiencing a new form of Slow Art! A glass of iced tea anyone?

The painting expresses the heat very well. I dont even have air conditioning and fans dont really help a bit. I sat out in the garage for awhile, the coolest spot. The cats look depleted. It is cooler outside though than inside this metal trailer. The floor feels like that painting. Cant wait till the sun goes down tonight. Ugh.
I hear you, Suki! I can’t imagine what it is like for you without a/c right now. I think fans are just blowing hot air around. You tend to like the heat, so that tells you just how hot things are for you. Tomorrow is supposed to be another scorcher, so you might consider going some place where there is a bit of comfort. Here the air quality is so bad they are telling everyone to stay inside! I would welcome a good storm from Canada about now…it doesn’t appear to be in the cards, though.
Try to stay cool and calm, my friend. I will be checking in to make sure you are well. I will not even say “hugs”…who wants to touch anything or anyone?
Oh girl…..I don’t envy you one bit….the heat must stifle creativity. I always get very tired when it is soooooo hot. Your painting does show heat and I love the colors. I think I would try and find somewhere cool ( maybe that is impossible) and sketch or write.
Come to Taos….it is cool with rain showers.
Dear Kim,
How are you doing? Sorry to reach you so late but have so many things to do in my life. I am missing you dear and missing you also at my blog.
love
Sabi Sunshine
You are so right, Gwen, the heat just zaps my creativity. I just want to be still with a glass of ice water! Our basement is cool (we do have ac, but it is a struggle for it to keep up) which is a gift. Sketching and writing are good activities as they don’t require sitting in front of the hot computer or being upstairs in the studio! It is true, I am a cool weather girl…and humidity is a real energy zapper! ARGH! Oh well… I would love to come to Taos! Yes! That would be great and the air is always so much dryer there, too. That sounds nice. I do see we might have a bit of a cool down tomorrow, yippee! Then it heats up again… Thanks Gwen. Have a Wonderful Weekend!
Hi Sabi, I am keeping very busy around here. I think that is happening with a lot of people, but it can’t be all that bad! It is nice to have you visit me! Thank you!
arrrg, this painting is soooooo hot. I really feel like it right now, pure embers, fireflames! Your painting is an incarnation of hot! I love the interesting “fusing” effects which add to the impressin of heat melting it all down!
don’t feel like standing up and painting, but like sitting down and sipping water too:) Or just doodle and draw, that’s all that can be done when it’s hot like that; Oh and I painted this little perroquet, who sure lives in the rainforest, so I think there’s the influence of the weather, lol.:) Have a great Friday, love, Andrea
Oh my friend, I did not mean to make you more hot there! Yes, that is the way I feel, too. I love that …”an incarnation of hot!” – I wanted to say ‘of hell’! Yes, that is just what I was hoping to get the feeling of blue metal being melted in fire. A piece of metal thrown in a furnace. You really nailed this one!
Your little parrot is adorable and I think “yes” the influence of the heat is there in your work, as well.
Just existing, sitting with a long, tall glass of the coldest water, which you allow to run down your skin from time to time. Only the cold water doesn’t stay cold for long. I have actually taken an ice cube and rubbed it over my throat and put one on my head to melt, too. It doesn’t take long.
Thanks Andrea! You have a Fabulous Friday, too!
Same weather in Paris
!
Whew, it is really difficult to work in this, isn’t it?
