A Poem & A Painting: With A Fleece As White As Snow
Mar 02 2015 · 0 comments · A Poem & A Painting, My Paintings ·0
Once again we woke up to Monday morning snow here. They say that Spring is 18 days away ~ it can’t come soon enough! What could be more appropriate than a poem & a painting with a snow theme…
Snow-Flakes
Out of the bosom of the Air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.
Even as our cloudy fancies take
Suddenly shape in some divine expression,
Even as the troubled heart doth make
In the white countenance confession,
The troubled sky reveals
The grief it feels.
This is the poem of the air,
Slowly in silent syllables recorded;
This is the secret of despair,
Long in its cloudy bosom hoarded,
Now whispered and revealed
To wood and field.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
While I may be tired of all this snow, I am smitten with this lambie in the snow…
Fleece As White As Snow by Pamela Copeman (6″ x 6″, oil)
Lambie looks quite cozy, content, and comfortable in the snow. Comfort was the theme for February for the Girls Just Wanna Paint group and this was my painting. You can see all of the paintings on the Girls Just Wanna Paint blog.
Happy Monday!

Pamela
