Curated by Mood: Pieces That Capture Lazy Days, Road Trips, and Golden Hours

Summer is a season of slow mornings, happy wanderings, and that magical golden light. Our collection brings those moments to life through paintings that echo seasonal moods and memories.

1. Lazy Days at the Shore

Coastal escapes and laid-back beach vibes belong in every summer gallery. Small treasures like Nancy Bass's In the Surf and Afternoon at the Beach use soft pastel and watercolor tones to effortlessly conjure the ocean’s motion and energy. These gems are perfect for cozy corners, sunlit nooks, or wherever you retreat to relax.

2. Road Trip Landscapes

Vast fields, open skies, and bright horizons—these are the hallmarks of unforgettable summer drives. Carson Overstreet’s larger landscapes like Indian Summer (30"×48") and Autumn Hay Field (30"×40") offer vibrant swaths of color, ideal for grounding a living space or gallery wall. Their sweeping compositions evoke afternoons spent winding through countryside highways with the windows down.

3. Golden Hour Glow

The magic of golden hour—the moment just before sunset when everything is bathed in honeyed light—can be felt in works like A Charleston Night and Sunsets at Dockers. With warm tones and soft silhouettes, these pieces float across the canvas, capturing that dreamlike twilight shimmer. Hung together or alone, they bring a sense of peaceful transition and gentle celebration to any space.

How to Curate for Your Summer Mood

• Mix sizes & moods: Pair a small beach sketch next to a bold landscape to build a seasonal vignette.

• Match tones: Coordinate warm golden-hour pieces with sunset-themed accents—think rust textiles or amber glass.

• Layer textures: Soft blooms, calming watercolors, and rich impasto all tell your seasonal story together.
