Inspired by a view Hillsborough, NC, walking on Riverwalk and looking up through the tree canopy.
The painting title is a phrase from a poem by Jeffery Beam, 'A Green Man's Man' in his book, Gospel Earth.
....I sit at my table counting
the times an acorn hit me
on the head
or the times I have looked up straight
up into glint leaf frissons
when the sun's brevity broke
through the multitude of&
I, too, looked down at myself
Green thought in a green shade
