At Noon, 5"x7" watercolor |
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes' sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies.
from the poem, "September"
by Helen Hunt Jackson
1830 ~ 1885
At this New England latitude, in the Northern Hemisphere, there are 4 seasons, winter, spring, summer, and fall.
By color, I believe there are 5 seasons:
White-snow
Chartreuse-new plant growth
Yellow-summer sunshine
Orange-autumn foliage
Gray-bare tree branches
Color illuminates shades of ourselves a gray scale shapes. Line. Contour. Direction.
A lemon gives me permission to like yellow. Sunshine, a reason to smile. Art, the encouragement to love Peace over war.
