My husband, daughter and I were suppose to head a few hours south for a college tour today but decided to reschedule due to the high, and probably very uncomfortable heat index. So, instead of hitting the road early, I hit the paints and finally finished a commissioned portrait painting. Which is, ironically, the perfect painting for a hot day like today.

I am used to painting water in its liquid form ~ this was my first attempt at painting a snow-filled winter scene. I hope the recipient loves it!
In case these images have you craving something cool and refreshing:
Here's a Fountain-Style Vanilla Malt Shake recipe that you might want to try.

The vanilla shake reminded me of the snow covered hills :)
Cheers.
