Nothing Gold Can Stay (Zoe)⁠. 2013⁠ Size: 18 x 16 in⁠ Medium: Oil on canvas panel⁠ ⁠ The title is based on the poem by Robert Frost⁠ ⁠ Nothing Gold Can Stay⁠ BY ROBERT FROST⁠ Nature’s first green is gold,⁠ Her hardest hue to hold.⁠ Her early leaf’s a flower;⁠ But only so an hour.⁠ Then leaf subsides to leaf.⁠ So Eden sank to grief,⁠ So dawn goes down to day.⁠ Nothing gold can stay.⁠ ⁠ The poem’s meaning sets out the ‘green’ of youth is fleeting and nothing that is perfect lasts.⁠ I’ve used this title a few times ( 2012 was the first). With this portrait I want to tackle fur and subtle turning within chiaroscuro lighting. Note the gold necklace in the left hand.⁠ Sold through the Albemarle Gallery⁠ ⁠ #albemarlegallery#rvpgallery#cattogallery#artist#art#painting#oilpainting#contemporaryart#contemporaryrealism #contemporarypainting#painter #Fineart #artgallery#artstudio#modernart#figurativeart#artconsultant#interiordesign#artcollectors⁠
