Solstice
I’ve been thinking a lot about the solstice for the past few weeks; an Artist Trading Card swap for June has this as its theme and I’ve been wondering how to approach it. It’s a bittersweet time: the languor of the longest day combined with the heading back to winter.
We walked up on the levee to watch the sun set and the moon rise. While we were sketching we heard the sounds of bluegrass from Jim’s house (the former artificial insemination barn). We headed down there to make sure they had seen the moon. (They hadn’t, and immediately headed outside to serenade the moon with a stirring rendition of Blackberry something.)
- It is bittersweet; that’s perfect. June is my favorite time of year, especially the mornings. All the light without the heat and humidity.— Peter 23. June 2005, 20:17 Link
