Landscape Writing and the Lorrain Glass Looking through my Lorrain glass I saw different 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 end 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 couldn’t see much detail from such a great distance, but the smoke coming out of the chimney told me there was someone inside. I chose three different 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 snap 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 seemed 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 going down. The sun would hit the Lorrain Glass and made the image bright.
The red piece of cellophane made 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.

The Essay on My dream house
My dream is to live in a big detached house surrounded by a big garden full of flowers and trees. I wouldn’t like to live in an apartment with blocks of flats and rude neighbors making noise in the middle of the night.

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 still 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. Each of these colors provides a different feeling but all still give a picture of a season. This shows how we associate colors with seasons and different types of weather. Each colored piece of cellophane gives me a different feeling of happiness, sadness, or just emotions. It brings back memories of times I had before and it makes me feel as if I had been at this field or the house before..
