Lilly of the Valley

Description

I was flicking through some art books that had several paintings by Arthur Rackham in it...I love the way he gave his paintings a golden, antique look and wanted to try the same. I remembered the beautiful Lilly of the Valley I saw by the river at Sissinghurst Castle blowing through the spring wind....

any connection to Queen's song ?

"I am forever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no
Neptune of the seas an answer for me please
The lily of the valley doesn't know

I lie and wait with open eyes
I carry on thru' stormy skies
I follow ev'ry course my kingdom for a horse
But each time I grow old
Serpent of the Nile relieve me for a while
And cast me from your spell and let me go

Messenger from seven seas has flown
To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne
Wars will never cease
Is there time enough for peace?
The lily of the valley doesn't know".


beautiul picture!
