Bear Rock Golden Sunrise

10x10"
Encaustic, oil paint, and mixed media on framed cradled birch panel
 
Bear Rock in Canaan Valley, where where the wild blueberries shrubs catch fire blanketing the landscape in fall and the sunrises paint the vista in gold.
 
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost
