Call Me Summer | Acrylic & Oil On Canvas | 10" x 8"

Call Me Summer is the vibrant opening to my new seasonal collection—an invitation into the warmth, energy, and emotion that summer brings. While this piece doesn’t yet feature the symbols that will define the rest of the series—like the coconut tree and the eagle—it sets the tone with its radiant palette and expressive flow. Bursting with yellows, sun-washed warmth tones, ocean blues, fresh green, and the glow of a mix of whites representing the long bright hot days. Call me Summer captures the feeling before the form.
It’s the heartbeat of the season—joyful, bold, and free—and serves as a soulful introduction to the visual story I’m about to tell through the full collection. As you explore what comes next, you’ll see how this spirit evolves into deeper symbols of strength, freedom, and rooted identity.
