"Sunday, February 13th, was a particularly foggy day. There was no sky, only a transparent tent that draped the tops of the oaks sheltering Savannah's squares and avenues. The world was black and white and shades of grey."
Fog creates a wall that is impossible to look through. All you can see is the outline of people and things and nothing is really clear. One sees the darkness that surrounds everything. In the fog one can be hidden from the world because they tend to blend in with the darkness. The painting I picked to represent my quote from Behind the Moss Curtain by Murray Silver shows blocks of defined color but within the blocks you are unable to distinguish anything. There are no brushstrokes or images that you can clearly see, just like when one can hide within the fog because of the lack of visibility. It creates an eerie mood because one never knows what can be hiding in the fog ahead.
