©Seth F. Weaver, Sr. 03/20/14. This work was inspired by the changing seasons of life in nature and mankind. You see a large expanse of land, where once stood a great house, home to a large thriving family. Like the seasons people are born and die, children grow up and venture forth into the world taking with them their memories and nothing else. One of the boys becomes a man and serves his country in a far away land dying from a motorcycle accident at a young age. The last remaining son works with his father in a business until dementia strikes down the patriarch. The son cares for the father but it is futile. The girls all get married except one and move away. The mother left alone is still visited by her local children regularly as she opens a boarding house in town. As you look at the site of this family home now reclaimed by nature you can sense that maybe this spot was their parlor and being the style of the day they must have gathered here for a family picture. If you stretch your imagination you will find your there with them once again. This work started with a photo of some woods. The trees inspired me to add an antique photo of my maternal grandfather and his family. Stirring it up all in my imagination. A Compullage™ creation.
