In years past I gave May baskets to my grandma.
(The only way we celebrated May Day)
We never did set up a Maypole; did we miss anything?
Andrew Wyeth's 'maypole' painting, "Snow Hill".
Must've been chilly in those hills if it was May 1st.
Its a huge painting, by the way - 6 feet wide by 4 feet tall. I saw it at the Brandywine River Museum. And it really is an in-joke, because all the celebrants are people from his other paintings.
Well personally I don't see the attraction of prancing and capering round a pole :/
ReplyDeleteBut I must say, I love that painting! I hadn't seen that before and I liked that you gave little facts about it. Looking at art is wonderful and very enjoyable, but it's knowing the painting's history that makes it fascinating.
Nice one, Nanctwop!
