Snow Hill

Happy May Day

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.

Just A Minute

Woo... another Award!
This time via the One Minute Writer blog. The theme was 'Celebration of Life', and I'd just been looking at his tempera piece 'Snow Hill', thus my minute missive:

Remembering Wyeth.

He loved his life on the hillsides of Maine and PA. His art grew from those days on the hills.

Now he's gone, but not really. He's left the most vibrant parts of his life for us. His art.

That's how I really feel, so I'm glad I spent that 60 seconds on her site. Thanks for reading, C.Beth!
