    More about this artwork from our :

    This country scene evokes the Brandywine River valley of Smedley’s youth. The woman’s face glows as she banters with her surprise visitor, who leans into the shadowy room from the sun-drenched field beyond. Smedley’s skill in bringing a story to life shows in this image. We can feel the heat of summer, the cool of the interior, and the excitement of the courting couple.

    A favorite poem of mine is "When I Was One-and-Twenty" by A. E. Housman. Enjoy it paired with 's "One Day in June" by William Thomas Smedley.

    Painting of a young woman leaning against a wall in a slightly dark room in a rustic home, beside a wooden chair. She smiles at a young man leaning in through the window, who grins up at her, as though they are in a pleasant conversation.

    As pink flowers blossom around Washington, D.C., spot three Art in Bloom sculptures in Enid Haupt Garden. Sponsored by , they symbolize the between Japan and in the U.S. as we mark the 10th anniversary of the 2011 earthquake in Japan.

    In a garden with spring-green grass and pink saucer magnolias blooming on trees on a clear sunny day, a sculpture in the shape of a single cherry blossom sits on a pedestal. It looks like a quilt-style patchwork of fabrics or papers with intricate, floral patterns in colors including light pastel pinks and blues.
