"She has a touch of gold . .
New Hampshire gold —
You may have heard of it."
- - R Frost
this artwork :
Chester, New Hampshire was incorporated in 1722.
Early American clock manufacturing was done here.
The clock face represented in this work also serves as a "time tunnel",
welcoming the viewer to cross over Chester's covered bridge in to the sun- filtered woods,
choose a trail ("less traveled"),
and step into a hundred years ago.
Also depicted
• flock of geese do a fly-by over our home town.
• antlers of the white tailed deer (NH state animal)
• white birch trees (NH state tree)
• Daniel Chester French sculpted the Lincoln Memorial statue in Washington DC.
He kept his summer home in Chester, and took the town's name as his own.
The Lincoln statue hands (resting on his law books) are represented in this artwork.
Thank you for your time.
( in memory of Marena )
