Summertime is flying by, but there is still a little time left to cross a few goals off that summer bucket list! Let's spend a summer day and night together and see what we can do! Why not get all the chores over with in the morning so we can spend the rest of the day having fun...The beautiful painting pictured above is "Morning Chores" by Alexander Koltakov, the perfect place to start a summer day!

We can't start on the bucket list until we have some energy! What could be a more refreshing summer snack than a peach? Two peaches! Take a peak at the above painting, "Two Peaches" by George Spencer. Both nutritious and delicious, now we have energy to go for a walk in the woods and cross that off the list! The painting below by Mark Brennan, "Horse Tails Over Sporting Lake Stream", captures such a magnificent moment in the woods!

Next on the bucket list: grab a paddle and take to the water! Isn't the painting below so sweet? This is "Stand Up Paddlers" by Deb Bromley! Such a fun summer scene...

Maybe your bucket list includes just feeling the waves and the water! It's amazing how such a simple sensation can bring all the feelings of summer back...Below is a stunning painting capturing such a moment! This is "Thalassophile" by Erin Hollingshead! Did you know that a Thalassophile is someone who loves the sea, and they are intimately linked to the shoreline and coastal air. So cool!

It is so magical to just sit where the waves meet the shore! Maybe this is exactly what is on your bucket list, and if so, take a peak at the painting by Lynn Johnson below, "Front Row Seat 1"!

How about inviting some friends along on this summer day? The beach is better with buddies, as you can see in the scene below by Deb Bromley, "Beach Party"! This artwork is the perfect example of fun in the sun...

While we are at the beach, we must dive in and see what lives beneath the waves! Isn't the painting below, "The Mother" by Caileigh Lambie, absolutely mesmerizing? Just a glimpse into the wonders under the sea!

Before getting into the evening festivities, let's take a moment to relax! Taking some time to kick back may be exactly what is on many of your bucket lists! The peaceful painting below by Craig Gunn, "Dog Days of August, Lac À la Tortue", captures such a moment of contentment.

The city truly comes alive in the summertime once the sun goes down and the moon comes out! On the bucket list could be going for a walk down the boardwalk to see the lights and hear the sounds! Take a peak at the terrific painting below by Jack Ross, "Festival on the Waterfront"!
