The Gentlemen in the Meadow

An illustration done earlier this semester for class depicting one of Russell Edson's poems.  Watercolor and colored pencil, 27.5 x 17.5 inches.  The poem was "The Gentlemen in the Meadow" and we could interpret it however we wanted.

Some Gentlemen are floating in the meadow
 over the yellow grass.

They seem to hover by those wonderful blue
little flowers that grow there by those rocks.

Perhaps they have floated up from that nearby graveyard?

They drift a little when the wind blows.

Butterflies flutter through them....
