Description
From Poets in Picardy by E. De Stein. He jotted down notes in the trenches from 1916-1918. He said his words were written with light-heartedness and a sense of ridiculousness through appalling conditions in the war. He said the men and humor and friendship kept him positive. These poems are precious, as are the past memories and all of our historical records and notes from our ancestors. I am on Ancestry as so many of us are, and have been blessed to explore and discover ancestors back to the 1500s and I was even able to set foot on Irish ground where my father's maternal ancestors were from. Their first steps were there and I walked there and saw what they had seen. It was like walking on hallowed ground and feeling this overwhelming sense of purpose and strength and connection.
I am connecting the past with the present with this art work from a photograph.
All of my art here is offered to you through Fine Art America and divisions of their sites. The Watermark does NOT appear on your purchased art. Thank you for your support

F/L There is something special and strengthening in learning our roots :>) I gave our son and his wife Ancestry for their birthdays last year - will probably extend it this year since they're having so much fun. I'm delighted to hear you got to walk on the very ground your predecessors walked on:>) It gives a person a sense of "place". Love this digital painting:>)
