Not present on the Year
At any other period –

A Color stands abroad
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels…

I have the most beautiful Morning Glory vine growing by my house.
Every year I imagine among all the many blooms and buzzing bees around it there is also faerie folk in their midst! 🐝🧚‍♀️ 🍃
So, this year I thought I would paint it. 🎨
