Colors In the Sky

When night’s ebony is vanquished, the pre-dawn turns slowly into peach. Peach becomes persimmon and pink as scarlet starts to streak the sky. Two beautiful doves I see flying beneath the rainbow colors. The birds’ color matches that of the clouds. As I breathe the snowy whiteness of the clouds, the sun shyly peeks out from behind them. Suddenly the deliciousness of saffron shines forth with the hope of a new day. I’m gazing up at a Monet.

It's the truly breathtaking, how peculiar the palette on a work of art. I saw a Pissarro that shade shadows In turquoise pink and the most delicate blue. i can see the mesmeric essence of such masterpiece. You made me to look again.
