Landscape Writing and the Lorrain GlassLooking through my Lorrain glass I saw divergent moods of a scene. I sat on top of my car and looked out over a field of apple trees, raspberry bushes, and pumpkin patches. At the residuum of the fields was a huge white house with a ton of windows. The house had a wide porch that went all the way around to the back. I couldnt reassure much detail from such a great distance, but the smoke coming out of the chimney told me there was someone inside. I chose three disparate colors to put into my Lorrain glass. Red, yellow, and green slates of color all gave a different feeling to the picture I was creating in my frame. It was almost like a flip shot. I chose colors that I thought were drastically different to give a different feeling for the same scene. Each slate did give a different feeling, but they looked similar in shape. Through the cellophane wrap, when the wind blew, the images depended to wave. They had a small slant and looked as if they were moving. It was about 4 p.m. and the sun was just dismission down. The sun would hit the Lorrain Glass and do the image bright. The red piece of cellophane make me feel hot. I felt that the sun coming through made it seem even warmer. It gave me a feeling of desert warmth with no water in sight. All the trees looked bare and dead. The yellow piece of paper made everything seem sunny and bright. The house looked full of light. I could picture in my mind the owner of the house having a glass of lemonade on the porch. The trees, the house, and the pumpkins all seem to come to life. They looked full and lively. The green cellophane seemed kind of cold and dark. The sun coming through of course made it seem a little brighter but it motionlessness had that sense of dreariness. The pumpkins looked rotted and old, the trees appeared bare with bad apples around its base, and the house just seemed to blend into the back round.
