Description
It was hot summer, the heat making mirages like bits of air turned to water on the hot asphalt outside. Candy melting weather. Reminds me of the old days with Kailey, spilling gummy bears on the driveway and watching them melt, translucent and deforming into sticky puddles.

Stock: Turn Silent by ~yellow-stock . I've loved this stock photo for ages but I never knew what to do with it. The above is an excerpt from a short story I wrote inspired by by the photo when first I saw it.

The final project for the intermediate painting class I've been taking this summer. I've never painted anything so large or so loosely... it was a challenge for me to ignore the imperfections and just let the painting be... but I had fun and am pleased with the results.

Acrylic on canvas 4'x4'3" (or maybe it's the other way around).
