If the trees look yellow to the artist then painted a bright yellow they must be.

In an old book - close to a hundred years old -
forgotten between the pages,
I found a watercolour, without any signature.
It must have been the work of a surpassingly powerful artist.
It bore, as its title: ‘The Appearance of Eros.’But it was better interpreted: ‘- the eros of consummate sensualists.’
Since it was apparent as you looked at the work
(the artist’s conception was easily grasped}
that the young man in the drawing was not intended
for those who love somehow healthily,
who abide by what is manifestly permitted -
with chestnut, deep-shaded eyes;
with elite beauty in his face,
the beauty of an attraction far outside the norm;
with his ideal lips that bring
flesh’s joy to the beloved body;
with his ideal limbs formed for beds
the current morality finds shameful
