Time’s Running Out: Your Summer Bucket List in 8 Paintings

As August winds down and September looms larger, the summer FOMO heebie-jeebies are hitting hard. Have you gotten to every fun thing you wanted to this summer?

Chances are, you haven’t. We know we haven’t. Three months is never enough time to have all the fun there is to have. These eight paintings pretty much sum up our summer bucket list. Well, sort of.
