“It’s Not the Heat” 16x20 Archival Print

“It’s Not the Heat” Archival Print. 16x20 on Fine Art Paper

This vibrant painting captures the sultry, shimmering atmosphere of a Southern summer. Layered drips, condensation effects, and pastel-neon hues frame the bold text “It’s Not the Heat, It’s the Humidity” — a phrase familiar to anyone who’s endured the Lowcountry’s sticky, air-heavy days.

Created using Tatiana Tatum’s signature foggy window painting technique, the piece blends realism and abstraction with hand-painted water droplets and blurred reflections. Palm fronds, pastel skies, and hints of coastal architecture emerge through the letters, evoking both nostalgia and climate commentary.

Perfect for collectors of contemporary Southern art, text-based paintings, or lovers of humid summer nostalgia, this work is a bold statement for home, office, or gallery walls.
