Watercolour on Arches Not 300lb Paper…
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
Nothing Gold can Stay Music…
“Nothing Gold Can Stay” is one of Robert Frost’s most famous poems. Written in 1923, this poem was published in The Yale Review in October of that year. Some say the poem helped Frost to win a Pulitzer Prize. Only eight lines long, this poem is still considered one of Frost’s best. “Nothing Gold Can Stay” is also featured in the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and its film adaptation. The American rock band New Found Glory also used the title for their album of the same name...Wiki…
Nothing Gold Can Stay” explicitly describes identical moments in three temporal cycles: the daily, the yearly, and the mythic. In each case the poem depicts the moment when the promise of perfection declines into something lesser. Gold unabashedly becomes a symbol–a very traditional one–for the highest value and most radiant beauty. Spring, dawn, and Eden are each a sort of Golden Age, an impermanent paradise.
What lies ahead is never stated overtly, but it is inarguably present by implication. Day is inevitably followed by night. Summer is succeeded by fall and winter. The green leaf eventually turns brown and decays. The loss of Eden gave Adam and Eve mortality. Human youth, by implication, is followed by maturity, old age, and ultimately death. The golden moment, therefore, is all the more precious because it is transitory. By focusing on a single moment, Frost evokes an entire day, year, lifetime, and human history...Dana Gioia.

Joanne Bradley
This landscape is just exquisite! I love its abstract nature despite being able to see the trees as they are! Is there a possibility that you may have that showing in a Montreal gallery next year, because I would just love to see your work up close and personal!
Janis Zroback replied
I don’t know….the gallery in Montreal had a contract that was full of holes and the lawyers here told me not to sign…I may end up selling everything on line…I’m so pleased you like this landscape…thanks Joanne.
BTW I’m doing a few things on Zazzle now…things the RB don’t carry like shoes and bags….
Joanne Bradley
Oh my gosh, I will have to check that out! :-)
Janis Zroback replied
I’m still working on the gallery there…they are not as user friendly as RB, so it takes time…I’ve done one shoe, one bag, and a U.S. postage stamp…
