Picture: In the village

Oh, the trembling early of the holy backwater,
When the river is still covered in gold dragonflies,
And in the flashes of branches and reed tears
Another maple bridge in the sun undead bars!
Blooming meadows variegated estuaries,
And the clatter of horseshoes in the stable, and overgrown
A pigsty of screeching fun and threats:
The dayan cowgirls disappeared in a greedy crunch!

(Emil Verharn, "Sunday Morning")

A copy of the painting by the great William Henry Margetson was created with pastel pencils based on a sketch in colored ink on linen embossed paper with a fabric texture.
