Haiku September 16, 2012 Open Windows

Open window breeze

Brushes sleepy morning face

September fresh air!

Art Prescription: Woke to a light rain and cool temperatures. After I loaded the coffee and hit on, I opened the windows and inhaled deeply. Ahhhh!! Fresh, clean air! Fall is a season loaded with emotion. I find it beautiful and look forward to the crisp change. There is also a sense of melancholy that summer is over. “For everything there is a season.”

Big billowing clouds

Rise upward. Grey bellies full

Flash! Light sparks the air!

Art Prescription:  This time of year with the level of heat and humidity, afternoon thunderstorms are predictable. On my evening walk the barometric pressure seems palpable. The sky is full of big plumes of clouds, layers of atmospheric turmoil. Storms are another chance to respect and be in awe of nature! Ever tried to paint a stormy sky? This is where watercolor “blooms” come in handy!
