Description
�Seth F. Weaver, Sr. 03/20/14. This work was inspired by the changing seasons of life in nature and mankind. You see a large expanse of land, where once stood a great house, home to a large triving family. Like the seasons people are born and some die, children grow up and venture forth into the world. Taking with them their memories and nothing else. One of the boys becomes a man and serves his country in a far away land dying from a motorcycle accident at a young age. The last remaining son works with his father in a business until dementia strikes down the patriarch. The son cares for the father but it is futile. The girls all get married except one and move away. The mother left alone is still visited by her local children regularly as she opens a boarding house in town.
As you look at the site of this family now reclaimed by nature. You can sense that maybe this spot was their parlor and being the style of the day they must have gathered here for a family picture. If you stretch your imagination you will find your there with them once again.
This work started with a photo of some woods. The trees inspired me to add an antique photo of my maternal grandfather and his family. Stirring it up all in my imagination. A Compullage� creation.

They are not ghosts...they are the sap and the leaves, that fall incesantly on the ground of Life. You have shown respect and love for all these persons, whose stories are worth the writing of a wonderful book. Sometimes I feel that we are not alone, in fact...there is an extensive breathing of all the souls that were flesh in here, before they passed to another dimension. There...were related with kinship...and one by one, their spirits unique and loneline...have an intriguing way of looking. I love these pictures, old pictures. People seems noble and true, not posing to show, but to leave their real persons on that film and space. Rosa
Seth Weaver replied:
Thank you so much Rosa for your insightful comment on this work. These people in this work are my mother's fathers family.

I've no idea how it happens but time just gets away from me and then before you know it, I'm a dozen images behind! I just love the way you conceived this Seth - the rainbow colors of the overlay, the vintage family portrait - all so unique and lovely. Terrific work. F/L G
Seth Weaver replied:
Thank you so much Lianne for the grand compliment. My vintage photo was quite a challenge to work with but the tree scene helped the composition.
