Framed Original Watercolor | To Make a Prairie

No bee required. Just the clover and the revery.

This small, vivid piece is the companion to "The Pedigree of Honey" - and the quieter of the two. Where that piece hums with activity, this one holds still. Deep magenta-plum clover blooms glow against white, every tiny petal individually cut and layered in collage, with bright green leaves and a small vellum tag that reads simply: and revery.

Dickinson's complete poem is only five lines - and this is her whole point. A meadow doesn't require much. Neither does wonder. The bee is optional.

A perfect piece for a reading nook, a desk, or anywhere you do your best thinking.

Size: 5 × 7 inches (image) | Framed: 9 × 9 inches
Medium: Original watercolor and cut paper collage
Frame: Warm Wood 9 × 9 shadow box - ready to hang
One of a kind: Yes - this is an original, one-of-a-kind work

"To Make a Prairie" by Emily Dickinson

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,

One clover, and a bee,

And revery.

The revery alone will do,

If bees are few.
