Opening Stanzas of Thomas Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" (12''x9'')
acrylic on canvas

"The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea,
The plowman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.

Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight,
And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
Save where the beetle winds his droning flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds."
...
