My son is a pianist and he recently posted this lovely work on his YouTube channel. I wanted to share it here. I think it is so beautiful and one I had never heard before. His style of playing is so expressive.

This one of my more recent paintings. It was inspired by a vintage photograph of a group of women. I wrote a poem to go with it, something I have enjoyed doing lately, and I also created a short narrative video as well. You can click on it to play.
The Daughters of Elise
Elise had six daughters
All so close in age
She raised them to be strong women
Without a helping man's wage
The oldest had the most beauty
The second the purest of heart
The next three were closely knitted
The youngest the purest of heart
Elise was stoic, but friendly
Tired, but full of peace
And once her daughters were raised and gone
She folded her arms, closed her eyes, and embraced her sweet release
I like how you did the narrative with your painting and poem - beautiful !
