Description
December snowflakes
Fall by moonlight on late night
strollers in the square
As you may be able to tell, I'm a romantic. The moon is my planet, according to my horoscope. So I can blame it on the moon.
I wrote this haiku about a scene which I haven't necessarily been in but I have imagined, which pleases my romantic instincts. I know that wintertime strolling can be romantic, and I think people are fortunate who have that experience.
I don't think there's anything prettier than large white snowflakes falling quietly, especially in the evening by moonlight, what could be more beautiful? The square that comes to mind is in Syracuse. Hanover Square, maybe.
Not being a native of Syracuse made choosing my haiku even more special and thought provoking.
I fell in love with the look of the mismatched architecture in Hanover Square. Buildings and traditional landscapes are not something I usually paint, so I enjoyed working outside my comfort zone.
All the elements of my composition were painted with watercolor or ink and then put together digitally.
I was trying to create a timeless feeling to my cityscape to honor Hanover Square as one of the oldest commercial districts in the city that has evolved into a beautiful vibrant place to visit or live.
