Summer is upon us and so many people's thoughts turn to ice cream. Here are some paintings of ice cream still lifes, ice cream shops, and people eating ice cream. As you enjoy your summer be sure to give yourself some ice cream headaches along the way.

Summer and the July 4th weekend is upon us, so we are well into the picnic season. Picnics can be either social, family, or romantic events. These paintings, and those after the jump, are a small sample of art showing picnics. They are from different places and times. Enjoy.

Summer is approaching and some people's thoughts turn to swimming pools. Not mine, they're a pain to maintain, but some people like the things in their backyard.

Since Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, I thought a little musical homage to the best season of all was in order. With that in mind, I hope you enjoy Billy Stewart's rather eccentric version of the old Gershwin classic.
