Aerial Landscape - an impressionistic painting in acrylic

Sometime, somewhere, in time and space,seasons come and go.Lo! to us, we seldom see our world change,above and below.Fog, cloud, mist or smog, we may not know -summer without spring,We wonder if winter has passed without snow,have we heard the birds sing?Sunrise or sunset - it does not matter,flying high above,cruising on a jet plane, or on water,as fast as our hearts throb.What is this realm we claim the Good Lifeaway from Nature,living under a shroud of endless strife -how long can we endure?
