"Walnut Grove" for JCP6" x 12" oil on canvas
My sister, brother and I played among these walnut trees as children and relished the boundless magic endemic to our grandparents' home and farmland.
Just over the hill was a fragrant apple orchard - the thought of which always reminds me of this wise old Welsh Proverb:
"A seed hidden in the heart of an apple is an orchard invisible"
...and this most enchanting observation by Rabindranath Tagore- who surely knew a thing or two about magic, wonder, and the infinite charm of nature:
"The touch of an infinite mystery passes over the trivial and the familiar,
making it break out into ineffable music...
The trees,
the stars,
and the blue hills
ache with a meaning
which can never be uttered in words"
