here-comes-summer: BBQ Dreams...

"Here Comes Summer" thanks to three artists who created paintings around the same era

I decided to try something I have always wanted to do. I found three paintings, all oil on canvas and all created around the same era. The background and figures definitely all go together!

Background: "Meadow in Bloom" ca. 1935 by Pierre Bonnard (French, 1867-1947)

*Women: "Dancing Girls on Carmel Beach" ca. 1930 by Arthur Frank Mathews (American, 1860-1945)

Girl & duck: "Feeding the Ducks" 1912 by Elmer Livingston MacRae (American, 1875-1953)

*The painting of the girls dancing on the beach is, of course, in color and is quite beautiful. But I only had an image of the painting in black & white.

 Guest staying so I challenged myself to doing a very quick collage…

I could only add two things….

Here Comes Summer..............................Adam And Eve & Pinch Me

Theme: Here Comes Summer

A summer special! All things bright & sunny & holiday mode.

Could also be a belated tribute to Brian Wilson who passed away a couple of weeks ago.

Stepping aside as chief theme ponderer for now, thanks for all your fine collages

these past 2 months and looking forward to Angie's challenges.
