The color yellow;
Yellow is sunshine. It is a warm color that, like red, has conflicting symbolism. On the one hand it denotes happiness and joy but on the other hand yellow is the color of cowardice and deceit.

How I love to watch
The clouds? : - Peacefully –
Peacefully drifted by,
Silently upon the breeze –
They easily across the clear blue sky.

Abstract Colorado landscape painting

Summer Clouds 2
30x40 oil/acrylic
www.bsyatesart.com
Loving Clouds
How I love to watch the clouds
Peacefully, peacefully drifting by
Silently upon the breeze
They ease across the clear blue sky.

How they build and roll and tumble
Just like angels out to play
Dancing with the sylphs and fairies
Head o'er heels along the way.

Each new shape is quite amusing:
Puffs to great majestic towers
Building for their loving gift
To bless the earth with vital showers.
