How did it get its title?
When I look at this painting, I see the blazing hot sun of July that shoots to the top of the sky in the peak summer days.

What do I love out this piece?
I love the way the gold metallic in the top left shimmers bright and hot–even looking at it feels like I need to wear sunglasses! And I also love how, especially in the top scrape, the colors streak downward in a gentle wiggle that reminds me of the mirage of heat haze on those mid-summer hot days. It’s cool, too, how solid the edges of each scrape are: the negative space is unbroken so each scrape pops out toward the viewer.
