Mount Auburn Pond 1975
It was almost time to graduate from Brandeis and I had quite enough. Earlier I posted the image of a bronze urn from Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Mass. This is my interpretation of the central pond at Mount Auburn, in the bloom of springtime. A funereal weeping willow shows forth in bright chartreuse spring green. There are Summerlands in many places in the world and there's at least one in Washington, DC at Dumbarton Oaks estate, though I haven't been there in quite a while.
Original is colored pencil, on site in Summerland 1975. Heavily restored in Photoshop, 2019. 4 1/2" x 4 1/2".
