Description
My love came back to meUnder the November tree,
Shelterless and dim.
He put his hand upon my shoulder
He did not find me strange or older
Nor I him.
Frances Cornford
American Poet 1886-1960
Another in my series of "Faux Photographs"
8.5 X 11 inches on Cresent Illustration board.
Done with acrylics and India Ink, traditional brushes, a Paasche AB, sponges and a toothbrush.
I've always loved the stark, simple and sometimes forlorn tenor of her verses. I had to do a piece in tribute to this, one of my favorite of all poems.
Purchased by my friend Jamie White for a gift to a relative of hers.

What a great image! As a collector, I love your work.
As a poet, this really spoke to me as I recently wrote a poem using this as the epigraph. However, having written --35 years ago -- my bachelor's honors thesis on Frances Cornford, I must tell you that the poem is not called "All Hallows Eve" but rather, "All Souls Night." Also, Cornford, who was Darwin's granddaughter, is English rather than American.

Brilliant, David. Very haunting. We have to figure out an art trade.

Thanks for the kind words. I love this kind of stuff and I know you dig the darker stuff alot too.
It'd be great to do a trade Shawn.
Lets chat about it over the grill you have at your place?
Hope everyone's happy and healthy at your place.
Sorry about the dart incident at your party. I didn't mean you needed to throw it that hard. I'll buy you two a new one if you promise to never clean your studio. I feel like a real artist in there. Do you have a DVD of the (non-directors cut)of Blade Runner?
I'll ring you soon for coffee.

I just do as told when it comes to darts. No worries.
I don't have Blade Runner actually. I did just get a copy of Shark Attack 3: Megalodon which is the Show Girls of shark movies.
Cleaning my studio is biannual thing at best I'm afraid.
We live to grill any time , man.
