"The sky is the source of light in nature, which governs everything." — John Constable
Thanks for the quote, Suzanne.

'Nature is never seen, in this climate at least, to greater perfection than at about nine o'clock in the mornings of July and August, when the Sun has gained sufficient strength to give splendour to the landscape, 'still gemmed with the morning dew,' without its oppressive heat; and it is still more delightful if vegetation has been refreshed with a shower during the night.'
Poetry - or Poetics ? - of landscape painting.
Surprenant et sensible, votre travail sur l'extincteur.
Merci de votre visite, mon cher Serghei.
A bientôt!
