| Caspar David Friedrich, Evening Landscape with Two Men, 1830-35, o/c |
The end of summer puts Ciwt in mind of nocturne paintings. They have a sense of brighter things ending and more meditative, private times approaching. They remind her of how the approach of her favorite season, fall, felt when she was young. At some point in August, the long, humid, 'dog days' of summer began to make her sad. She'd waterskied, played tennis, laughed, generally and exuberantly filled her summer vacation free time with friends. But now that was done for her - internally. She was done with outside entertainments and privately longing for crispness, wool jackets, cozy autumn colors and the softer light of fall. She was ready for routine, structure, even homework. All these supported her true interior, contemplative, meditative nature and she looked forward to once again being surrounded by them.
