Afternoon on a Hill




Afternoon on a Hill

$350.00

SOLD


3'x 3'


This piece was inspired by one of my favorite poems. I love nature and being outdoors. Sitting on a hill with the wind bending the grass and wildflowers around me while overlooking the sea would be a perfect afternoon. I often think of this poem in the spring when my children bring me flowers picked from the garden or hillside.

Afternoon on a Hill
by Edna St. Vincent Millay

I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.

I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.

And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!
