Welcome back to Art Thursdays of my B.R.E.A.T.H.S. blog where I invite you into Brainerd’s Brushstrokes and Photography studio. During the month of October, I shared the different seasons from my perspective in acrylic paintings, iPhone photography, and a seasonal poem. The first week, I did my Autumn Art, the second week I posted my Winter Art, and last week I shared my Spring Art. This final week, I am gifting you the visual sensation of my Summer Art collection.

Summer Poetry by Jaime Brainerd
“All the Things I Love About Summer from A to Z”
Alluring aromas of alyssums in August
Backyard or beach BBQs with besties
Colorful clouds covering the coastline
Daring dives in water and sky
Exploring enchanting eucalyptus, especially rainbow
Fourth of July fireworks with friends and family
Gazing at glorious grasslands
Hawaiian hikes and hideaways
Irresistible ice cream
Joyful beach jumping in June and July
Kids flying kites
Love living life
Marvelous movies in the park
Outrageous outdoor opportunities
Pastel palms in paradise
Quiet quality time
Riding roadways and railways
Swimming with sea turtles at sunset
Taking time to rest
Ultimate underwater adventures
Visiting voluminous volcanoes on vacation
Wonderful walks along water
Xenomaniac xenogaugs on tours
Yachting off in the yonder
Zealous zebras at the zoo
Conclusion on Seasonal Art
I have been expressing my creative side for quite some time, starting with writing poetry when I was younger, to taking photographs with my cell phone, and painting pictures as an adult. Most of my paintings I have given away or sold, my photos go unseen except by me, and my poetry skills fade without practice. That is why I decided to use this space to share my different forms of artistic expression. It was thoroughly enjoyable for me to browse through my collections finding themes, creating collages, and relighting my poetic spirit to share my songs of the seasons.
Much gratitude for reading and viewing,
Really nice and creative! Thank you for sharing your paintings, photography, and poetry with us.
Beautiful artwork. So good for the soul as you create and for others to enjoy!
You’re channeling Gaugin with some of those pictures! They are lovely.
