Field
Field
The browns of the grasses brown
variously
as the peaches of the sky peach, in patches,
as if the morning had decided to mix it up
in order to help some Dutch landscape painter,
only this land more
the neverlands (like all land),
not outstretched to fit frames,
color schemes;
colder today,
fresh snow.

A little 55 for Kerry’s prompt on Real Toads. This one to my own photo of the beautiful Catskill Mountains, upstate New York.

Simplicity is layered in this with the way the eye needs and feeds on complexity, even as it reduces it to something more comprehensible. Here the palette of nature washes over us with the comforting reassurance of beauty itself. Just lovely, k, and very soothing. Also, love the pic.

Thanks. Now is a time to get outside early as very grey as the day goes on–but I can’t always make myself brave it! As in, I am still sitting in bed this particular morning! k.

This is a beautiful view, certainly hard to contain within a single canvas.

The neverlands is not the Netherlands… There is something inkwashed in that peach sky… Better captured in words than on canvas

I’m dying over the first five lines!

I’m sure the Dutch painter would have been inspired … the poet surely was!

Perfect. Me too with the first lines, and isn’t this just what we have right now? Perfect.

Really beautiful description of the picture. The alliteration adds to the mood of it.
