Monday Blues: Color of the Season...


I noticed this new exhibit at the "Sideyard Gallery" as I rode along Berkeley the other day. If you ask me, the artists must have had summer on their minds. While all those sun images might be the obvious indicator, don't overlook all the blue. Between blue of the sea, lake, or river, the imaginary line where water meets the blue sky curtain, lapis butterflies, or the mountains' starry evening screen, blue seems to speak just as provocatively of the get outside and enjoy life season. Summer, get on your bikes and ride.

"summer returning
and I will be awake tonight
blue summer
i'm waiting
still waiting
all through the summer
and it's shining everywhere I go
blue summer
blue summer"
(blue summer , by Melody Club)
