This painting is for an upcoming exhibit with the theme "Midsummer Night's Dream" by Shakespeare. I am basing this painting on a little poem from the play.: "I know a bank where the wild thyme grows / Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,/Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine." Each of the four lines of the poem appears on the border of the painting. Inside the border are paintings of each of the six flowers mentioned, done in the style of botanical illustration.
