  The heat of summer is an intriguing subject to try to interpret in a painting. While we are limiting our outdoor painting time during the current heat dome, we're taking some time to look at the efforts of other artists to express the sultry heat of summer. There are many to see, but we've chosen a few of our favorites for you to enjoy below.

   And, Members of The Artist's Road can revisit two step-by step demonstrations of summer paintings created during the summer heat of Kansas—Summer Brome and Summer Evening as they evolve from plein air work to studio canvases here—From Plein Air to the Studio.
