The Summer Knows
“The Summer Knows” Is part of the Fall Collection....loose and free watercolour on Arches Paper…This painting is also part of the Lake of the Woods, Northern Ontario Series…
The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie.
The summer knows, the summer’s wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summer time
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world ‘round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of her arms.
And if you’ve learned your lessons well
There’s little more for her to tell
One last caress, it’s time to dress for fall...
UDO sings it for you…
