Little Collage for Mary – 4″ x 6″ Postcard
This is another collage from an inexperienced collager. The shoe is
from a watercolor painting I did for a WetCanvas WDE (weekend drawing
event), so Mary will probably recognize it. This little card will be
winging it’s way to Ohio.
About William Butler Yeats
Irish author William Butler Yeats, known for his mysticism and Celtic
imagery, won a Nobel Prize for his plays but ultimately achieved more
renown as a poet. He was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. Co-founder of
the Abbey Theater, he served as its resident playwright and worked with
actress Maude Gonne, who inspired the romantic longing expressed in many
poems. He married at age 52 and co-wrote
A Vision with his wife, a book with occult roots that explores the mythology in his poetry. He died on January 28, 1939.
