I was scheduled to do a show at Longfellows Greenhouses in Manchester, Maine in the fall of 2009, and often when I do a show that’s smaller and more personal I try to do a piece that’s specific to that location. There’s not a lot of story to tell….although I originally intended to do something more “botanical”, when I thought about Longfellow and what word associations popped into my head, this was it from the get go. I even intended to research quotes by H.W. Longfellow, but I never got that far. The original piece sold to a couple in Norway, Maine who frequently take walks through a pine forest where a few “Longfellows” reside.
