Summer on Canvas

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.
James Dent

I saw this painting at our local farmers' market last weekend.

That is a beautiful painting, and I like the quote too..My lawn mower is not broke, but at the moment, I'd like to think it is :-)

That would really brighten up a wall in the house.

How pretty.

with this on the wall it could be summer any time at all. our local Golden Corral has some of the most beautiful paintings of chairs like this, very large ones, 5 x 8 foot canvas. the whole place has local artist renderings so anything beach related. it is on the main road to one of our local beaches.
