Quote of the Day:"The day was magnificent. From horizon to horizon was one vast span of blue, whitening as it dipped earthward. . . in the distance [the desert] assumed all manner of faint colors, pink, purple, and pale orange. To the west rose the Panamint Range. . . here the earths and sands were yellow, ochre, and rich, deep red, the hollows and canyons picked out with intense blue shadows. It seemed strange that such bareness could exhibit this radiance of colour, but nothing could have been more beautiful than the deep red of the higher bluffs and ridges; seamed with purple shadows, standing sharply out against the pale blue-whiteness of the horizon.”
----Frank Norris, McTeague [1899]
Here are some very early watercolor works of mine evoking sunsets and skies.
Also below is a wonderful photographic taken while on vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

"In the fall the war was always there, but we did not go to it any more. It was cold in the fall in Milan and the dark came very early." -- E. Hemingway, opening lines of short story 'In Another Country', 1955
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quote, Adrian - from the man himself. Ernesto Hemingway, one of American's greatest writers of the twentieth century.
