It Was A Beautiful Summer Dream
Everytime I look at this painting I feel like I'm experiencing a beautiful summer dream. It captures the vibrant and fiery glow of a hot summer day.
It is a wondrous feeling and delight to watch nature at play without any human interference. Which unfortunately is so hard to do for the majority of us since the nature we have experienced have been altered by humans and our capitalistic interests.
It is especially horrible if you live in urban areas where nature has pretty much been obliterated and has caused unnatural extreme heat. A lot of low income residents do not have access to trees or any greenery. Trees provide shade which provide a cooling effect and helps to clean the air from pollutants. Trees and greenery also provide food and homes for a lot of species.
We can't keep encroaching on nature before the imbalance becomes too far gone to fix and causes a catastrophic event. Hopefully, the current generation will do better than the previous ones before it is too late for us all. We are meant to exist in harmony with nature and the other animals that inhabit the land.
