Stay inside where it's air conditioned. Or have a cold beer while it's really hot and I'm all sweaty. I'm not usually fond of beer, I prefer sweet alcoholic drinks, liqueurs, fruity wines, mead, rum with coffee or coke. But something about it is absolutely wonderful if I'm terribly hot and the beer is cold -- it's almost like alchemy what that does to my taste buds. Now when it's cold the best thing is a hot rum toddy or mulled wine!

I have also started a 21 day "Page a Day" writing challenge at the Sitesell forums, so I'll be doing a new page every day for my oil pastels website. Barn Swallow is up as a three stage demo for my Birds page on my oil pastels site. I love how it came out, finally found a use for that Duochrome wash piece of homemade Colourfix that I created months ago when I first got the good pint of Clear Colourfix.
