Watercolors by Leonard M HawkesThese too are poetry,
These on-site sketches
Of commonest mountains and fields—
Emotion’s intensity captured,
Translated in one sitting:
Brief, powerful aesthetic rush—
Visual transcendentalism—
Earth expressed in colored earth
And water; light, the simple glare
Of pure white papered cotton:
Nature crystalized into Art.
