🌊 Prompt: "Sun-Faded Memories & Breezy Days" 🌊

As summer settles in, we’re shifting from garden gatherings to the timeless charm of vintage summer escapes. Think boardwalk strolls, faded seaside postcards, wicker baskets packed for picnics, and gauzy dresses catching the breeze. This month, we’re embracing that nostalgic, sun-washed feeling—where everything slows down and the ordinary becomes something to treasure. Whether you’re channeling coastal cottages, vintage swimsuits and straw hats, or old-fashioned road trips with stops at roadside fruit stands, let June be a love letter to vintage summer days.

☀️ How do you bring that soft, golden haze of summer nostalgia into your home? Share your vignettes, seasonal displays, collections, or cozy corners that capture the breezy spirit of a vintage summer.

From soft, glowing skies to the deepening shadows of twilight, this theme invites you to explore the beauty of light, color, and atmosphere. Whether it’s a fiery sunset over the ocean or the warm glow of a summer evening in the countryside, use this time to experiment with light and color in your paintings.

Inspiration for Your Painting:
