Venice. Blue Salute Sunset. Turner Speaking From Beyond the Horizon (44.8 x 45 cm)

Haiku:
Learning from a Master

A daunting prospect
Following giant footsteps
And reputation

Walking in a dream
And looking through Turner’s eyes
With captivation

Black Nene Willows (55.8 x 45.7 cm)

Haiku:
Dusk falling
Black willows weeping
Silently
