Truth

It's Craftbarn time again - the words this time are change or truth. I found this poem called The Deacon's masterpiece or the Wonderful One-Hoss Shay by Oliver Wendell Holmes - that features the line "In fact, there's nothing that keeps its youth So far as I know, but a tree and truth.

Here's my page.....I used fresco paints for the background; and then some grunge paste through some stencils and also some Dylusions through some stencils. The tree is a JOFY stamp from Paper Artsy, the tree is stamped in green archival and the leaves in distress; but they faded so I drew over with a fineliner. Then I wrote on the quote and stamped some more trees at the top and bottom.

    Love Oliver Wendell Holmes. Lovely illustration of the quote, too. You put a lot of thought into this one, I could tell.
