Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost
 

Inspired by emotions/memories evoked by the sensory experience of trees and the Robert Frost poem of the same name, with a focus on depicting light and negative space as much as imagery.
Built up from dropped/splattered paint of different densities mixed on the surface and subsequent layers of opaque paint and transparent glazed paint.

 

Framed in a contemporary black wood tray frame and ready to hang.

Finished with a low-sheen varnish for protection.

Shipped free of charge to the UK and Ireland.
