Lazy Lemonade Days
Pamela Carvajal Drapala
December 21, 2011
Once long ago,
men wore pastel suits
and women wore
long pastel dresses.
We sat on blankets
on a white beach
where the movement of the wind
on the water created hundreds of whitecaps.
Sea gulls called out in the distance.
We quickly ate tasty picnic lunches
of fried chicken and finger sandwiches.
We drank cold lemonade and iced tea.
We indulged in
chocolate truffles
and New York style cheesecake.
Later that afternoon,
some children flew
their red, blue, and yellow kites
against a light turquoise sky
that was scattered
with clouds.
Other children bounced
beach balls high into the sky.
We watched as the sun
sank below the horizon and
as I walked along the shoreline.
Tiny bits of sand
massaged my feet.
All was perfect, all
was good.
Ah, how I miss those
lazy lemonade days.

Drapala Gallery, a visionary painter and photographer, is committed to giving a powerful voice through women's art and writing. Based on a deep belief in the power of art to express the strength of humanity, she has founded collaborative projects that transcend creative boundaries. One of her flagship projects is the publication of art anthologies, dedicated to women artists from around the world.
In 2018, Drapala Gallery published Strong Women's Art Anthology , a collective work celebrating women in art. The project brought together international artists and writers to share their stories, creations, and resilience. Building on the success of the first edition, Drapala launched a new call for submissions for its second volume, 2020, Women Artists' Create! , designed to reflect the strength of humanity through the challenges of the pandemic.
This collaborative project is an exceptional opportunity for female artists—painters, sculptors, photographers, writers—to submit their creations inspired by the year 2020. Drapala is committed to providing a free platform for these talents, and each artist will be able to share their work as well as the story that inspired it. Beyond the art, a portion of the proceeds from the book sales will be donated to women’s and children’s shelters, adding a charitable dimension to this artistic initiative.
Drapala Gallery continues to push the boundaries of creativity and amplify women's voices in the art world, while encouraging deep reflection on the collective strength of humanity.
