Water Relief

This current week of June 2025, a large portion of America (The United States) has been experiencing a heat wave of average daily temperatures being around 95 degrees to as high as 105 degrees. In the state of Maryland, where I live. we are expected to get relief from the very hot weather by Friday, June 27th when the temperature is supposed to be in the mid 80s. I really feel for people who don't have access to air conditioning during this heat wave. The use of fans does help, but they do not cool like air conditioners do. I used the Paint program on my computer to create this artwork that shows two silhouetted people outside in the hot sunny summer weather trying to stay cool and get relief by drinking bottles of cold water.

NICE PICTURE OF KEEPING HYDRATED. I REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD NO AIR CONTAINING. IT WAS FANS AND SHADE. OPEN WINDOWS IN THE EVENINGS TO CATCH ANY BREEZE. NOTHING NEW BUT SO MANY NEVER REMEMBER OR NEVER HAVE BEEN WITHOUT AIR. LIKE YOUR PICTURE A LOT.

Artist Reply: I kindly thank you Joanie for praising my artwork, and I also appreciate your meaningful feedback/recollections about enduring hot weather without air conditioners. I remember when I was a child during the 1960s, my parents buying a window air conditioner one summer to help cool the first floor of our home and that was a BIG THING- like celebrating Christmas in July!

This painting beautifully, and perfectly illustrates what most of us are experiencing at this very moment. I hope you and your family are keeping cool, Vernonette!

Artist Reply: Thanks very much Blonde for your very kind feedback regarding my artwork, and for your concern, and yes, I am staying close to the air conditioner throughout the heatwave. :)
