July 1st 20115, Summer and Frank Brangwyn

Summer days. The month of July, my feet in the sand at the beach, swimming. Delight in flowers and richly green trees. Big skies, heat, thunderstorms, the moon and the sun.

Jessie Willcox Smith "He looked up at the broad yellow moon and thought that she looked at him."

Frank Brangwyn, "His most famous undertaking in this field was a series of large panels on the theme of the British empire, commissioned by the House of Lords. They were begun in 1926 and rejected—amid great controversy—in 1930, being considered too flamboyant for their setting. Offers for the panels came from all over the world, and in 1934 they were installed in the Guildhall in Swansea."
