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 Dawn Goes Down to Day is an oil painting inspired by a poem by Robert Frost. It uses a beautiful palette of golden yellow, plum, umber, cream and sienna. the sides are painted in a shade of sienna and the 1.5 in. depth makes this a gallery wrapped canvas - so framing is unnecessary. The painting is wired and ready to hang vertically- my signature is on the lower right. The painting arrives with a certificate of authenticity.
