Sweetpeas- George Dunlop Leslie

Sweet and simple flowers held to her innocent breast A wistful soul brimming from brown eyes so dark Face untouched by life's mysteries yet to come With his brush stroke this beauty did embark

Sweetpeas is one of my favourite paintings by George, and this poem fits it so well. You described the poem yourself, "Sweet and simple". It really adds an extra dimension to the portrait. Thanks much for entering, and congrats on your no. 1!
