It has been HOT HOT HOT here this week!
Sweet, steamy summer time.
What better way to celebrate…
to embrace…
to bask in the gloriousness…
than with a sweet, cool, summertime treat –
an ice cream cone!
Strawberry no less!
And this Sunday, July 17 is #NationalIceCreamDay! National Ice Cream Day is celebrated each year on the 3rd Sunday in July and is a part of National Ice Cream Month. This day is a fun celebration enjoyed with a bowl, cup or cone filled with your favorite flavor of ice cream.
I really enjoyed painting this strawberry ice cream cone for #WorldWatercolorMonth in just two colors – raw sienna for the cone using a wet in dry technique, and wet in wet permanent rose for the sweet, creamy, juicy, ice cream.
May your hot summer days be filled with sweet, cool treats!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Oh T! You always say the sweetest things. I had a busy day at work and just catching up. Watching the sad news from Nice, France. Trying to be upbeat amidst such horrific ugliness. We must look for the good, the kind, the beautiful….
