This painting is named for my son, August, though is also a double entendre. August helped me mix the particular green that sings across this canvas. This piece also evokes for me the feeling of a perfect summer meadow – and that thought has a special brilliance when pulled from the magical memories of childhood. Keeping in mind those experiences that a child like my own may have, helps me keep a bit of that magic for my adult self.
