No Time to Stand

No Time to Stand

This one, painted some time early last year (2007) was inspired by my wife. She suggested that a poem she likes, by William Henry Davies, would be a good subject for a painting. The extract of the poem on the painting it’s self reads…

“What is life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare …
No time to stand beneath the boughs, and stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass, where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
A poor life this, if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare.”
