Framed Original Watercolor | It will be Summer - Eventually

$350.00

Some things are worth waiting for. Lilacs are one of them.

This piece captures that particular ache of late spring - the moment just before summer arrives, when the lilacs are still heavy on the branch and everything feels full of quiet promise. Pale purple blooms rendered in soft watercolor, with pressed lilac petals and leaves layered in as collage - some blooms tucked close to the stem, others drifting gently outward.

Emily Dickinson knew this feeling well. She tended her garden at the Homestead with deep care, and lilacs were among her most beloved flowers - in the garden and on the page. A warm sepia cameo oval grounds the composition, giving the whole piece the feeling of something treasured and kept. Like a pressed flower slipped between the pages of a favorite book.

It's a piece that feels like anticipation. And somehow, like arrival too.

Size: 9 × 12 inches (image) | Framed: 11 x 14 inches
Medium: Original watercolor and cut paper collage
Frame: Warm Wood 11 x 14 shadow box - ready to hang
One of a kind: Yes - this is an original, one-of-a-kind work

"It will be Summer - eventually" by Emily Dickinson

It will be Summer—eventually.
Ladies—with parasols—
Sauntering Gentlemen—with Canes—
And little Girls—with Dolls—

Will tint the pallid landscape—
As 'twere a bright Bouquet—
Thro' drifted deep, in Parian—
The Village lies—today—

The Lilacs—bending many a year—
Will sway with purple load—
The Bees—will not despise the tune—
Their Forefathers—have hummed—

The Wild Rose—redden in the Bog—
The Aster—on the Hill
Her everlasting fashion—set—
And Covenant Gentians—frill—

Till Summer folds her miracle—
As Women—do—their Gown—
Of Priests—adjust the Symbols—
When Sacrament—is done—
