12" X 12" Framed "Celebration of Friendship" by R.W. Emerson. This painting, based on a letter of friendship that Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in 1840, is a classical design using ancient species of palm, laurel, and Olive. The borders in green and blue boldly surround the detailed plant species and Emerson's exquisite Words " My dear friend, The day is so fine that I must try to draw out of its azure magazines some ray to celebrate our friendship... Honor & Love to you ever from all gentle hearts, - a wreath of laurel, & far better a wreath of olive & of palm."
