Christmas in July

For  Creative Tuesdays, this piece is called 'Christmas in July', actually MMm's theme for this week.  It's done in acrylics on a post-it note.  Unfortunately Sunday Sketches has been postponed as Alexandra is very ill...our prayers and thoughts are with her.

Please join the other talented participants in this art co-op!

As hot as it is on the mainland right now, this photo would add a refreshing breeze.

That's fun. My mother invented Christmas in July in our small town. A summer town, folks went to the city for winter. She thought it fun to do this for the summer sale.
We were in Almonte for their fair and the theme was Christmas!
What fun.
Greetings from Cottage Country!

Clever idea, I like how you went mostly "July" with just a touch of the "Christmas." Well done.

Wanda said...

That makes for a really "cool" drink...love the touch the Santa Hat makes.

Oh, that Santa's cap topping off the stirrer is a super touch. Very creative, love it. Really nice job with the theme.

Christine said...

that sounds so great Jenn!

Very "cool"! The drink looks like it might be peach flavored...looks so yummy. And the santa hat to replace the usual umbrella is perfect.

It's been so hot where I am, a santa-cap-approved/cold like the New York Christmas Winter drink would be a dream. Love living vicariously through your piece :-D Great coloring and job overall

Very clever interpretation, dear christine. Love it! soo cooling and yet festive too. Brilliant..as is that summer sun! TY. and ty for all your continued contributions along the way. With Betsy's departure, you hold the title as the longest serving member! So glad you've won at least one of my entries before! :)

what a great idea! I love how you simplified the theme to a simple graphic element - the glass & the decoration - you'd be a great graphic designer :D
