Dear You,
So, far, in my Very Dreamy Year series, we've had:
The Girl Who Loved Love (February)
The Girl With The Most Colorful Umbrella (April)
It is now July 13th, so I think it's high time the seventh month was represented in that line-up, don't you? There hasn't been a little blonde girl since January, so I thought it was time for one of those, too.
Did you know July is National Ice Cream Month? (You can thank Ronald Reagan for that (and my best friend for pointing it out to me).
I'd struggled to come up with an idea for this month, but I think this one would be fitting even if July weren't National Ice Cream Month, because, at least where I am, it is so freaking hot, eating ice cream (and other frozen treats) IS necessary.
Stay cool, kids!
P.S. This piece is now available as a print in the shop! I'm not listing the original (which is 11" x 14" on a flat canvas panel) right now, but it's available if anyone happens to be interested!
So cute, and so very true!~

Gorgeous as ever! Btw, we did celebrate Ice Cream Day here in Mumbai. A leading ice cream manufacturing company even launched 2-3 brand new flavours that day. :-)

I just found you through Shey Brenner's blog. LOVE YOU and your art!!! In fact, I just placed an order. July's print was on my favorite list but she is going to have to wait. Bookworms and Crafty Girl already have the perfect room waiting for them. :>)

I love so many of your print. It is hard to decide on just a few. Do you think you will ever come out with a calendar or maybe smaller prints? I could probably wallpaper a wall in my studio with just your art. It makes me happy!

I absolutely agree, completely necessary, every day, yes, definitely
