If you're tired of the heat and can't wait for fall and winter, find a place with a/c and listen to Albano Berberi's great performance of 'Greensleeves', which he adapted for the harpsichord. You can almost imagine the crisp air that's coming. The seasons are immutable, and sometimes that's a positive.
The painting is Louis Welden Hawkin's [1849-1910] Les jardin de la pension Laurent, a usually Symbolist painter. This one is more old fashioned. Symbolism was a reaction in part to Impressionism, it focused on metaphor, fantasy and the unexplainable, like magic.
