J'ai embrassé l'aube d'été

J'ai embrassé l'aube d'été.

{ I have kissed the summer dawn. }

These two paintings embrace the warm colors of the summer solstice with warm, glowing colors that include venetian red, terra rosa, burnt sienna, russet, yellow and gold ochre, and cadmium orange. Today is the last day of spring and the summer solstice tomorrow is the day with the most hours of sunlight during the whole year. So tomorrow—at precisely 6:51 a.m.—I plan on kissing the summer dawn. Where will you be?
