A Poem & A Painting: Fog

 This Summer it seems I’ve been on the go quite a bit.  It’s been the perfect time to explore watercolors because they are so portable…

This subject of this week’s poem & painting reminds me of some of the early mornings of Summer by the ocean ~ and is also the subject of this month’s Girls Just Wanna Paint Challenge:  FOG.

FOG
The fog comes 
on little cat feet. 
It sits looking 
over harbor and city 
on silent haunches 
and then moves on.
~Carl Sandberg

Here is my watercolor interpretation:

London Fog by Pamela Copeman

London Fog, watercolor by Pamela Copeman

Did you think I was going to paint a foggy landscape? 😉  Of course it’s a London Fog raincoat ~ a true classic with my artistic twist.  Be sure to check out all of the paintings for the month’s FOG challenge on the Girls Just Wanna Paint blog (where you will see some wonderful foggy landscapes!).

xo,

Pamela

    Pam, great take on “fog”! And, I love those portable watercolor sets – so compact, so much potential in a little package.
