Atmospheric Questions

(Mt. Fagan Sky July 26, 2008 Acrylic on Canvas by kathiesbirds)


Can I ever grasp this great expanse

this wide vault,

this atmosphere?

I reach to hold it to my breast,

I fling my arms towards emptiness.

Why do I want to gather it,

this wide expanse of openness?

    The wonder of a spaciousness as this beauty allows room to let your feelings flow openly in such privacy of space. Lovely painting.

    I think it is much more diffikult to document sky and clouds in a paining then to do a shot with a camera.
    Yes I like it.
