Summer Break
8” x 10” oil on board
Original painting, signed Pamela Watson

Painted on a golden summer afternoon at George and Peggy Rapp’s house on Lake Wawasee, Summer Break captures a serene moment of quiet beauty. Created during a painting event with the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association, the scene features a model seated in the sun, dressed in a flowing white dress, basking in the warmth of the day.

Sunlight pours down from above, casting soft highlights across her shoulders and fabric, while behind her a lush wall of green foliage and summer blooms creates a vibrant, painterly backdrop. The artist’s impressionistic brushwork and luminous palette bring the scene to life, evoking the feeling of long, unhurried afternoons by the lake.
