The cover painting, by William Kelley, depicts Siesta Key beach and the cabanas at the Sanderling Club. Kelley, who divides his time between homes in Sarasota and Florence, Italy, is a world travel who absorbs other cultures and harbors a fascination with people and an appreciation of the vivid colors and

shades of the universe.His work has been collected and admired on an interna-

tional scale.“Kelley is a spiritual son to Cézanne with as profound a

vision as one could want,” said art historian Sister Wendy beckett. “His work is beautiful, extraordinary and magnificent.”

2012 SUMMER SEASON 48

The following 25 items should be mainstays in your arsenal to beat the Florida heat this summer and not only to feel cooler – but look cooler. From beach-themed purses and sum-mery bow ties to bedazzled pens perfect for making notes in the pages of gripping beach reads, we've got you covered.

GET THE SCOOP | Need a break from the summer heat? Indulge in a scoop of locally-made ice cream from Memory Lane Ice Cream & Sweet Shop, located on State Road 70 East in Bradenton. The 1950s and 1960s-themed shop boasts a variety of flavors from McClains Homemade Ice Cream, including a birthday cake flavor. Sounds like a sweet treat to us.

BIKINI FIX | Get ’em while they’re hot on the rack. Aqua Beachwear, located on Siesta Key and St. Armands Circle, is known for its designer swim-suits. Trina Turk Fiji Flower Halter Bra and Hip Pant $174. Call 346-0702.

THEY’VE GOT THE BLUES | ’Tis the season for aqua bracelets. Go perusin’ at Just Cruzin’ on St. Armands Circle for Gulf of Mexico-hued arm art, such as the rose bracelet $28; and green bracelet $20. Call 706-2150.
