Success

Beautiful veiled background makes the flowers "pop" off the canvas. Sweet peas, roses, and mixed foliage in a transparent green glass vase.
Acrylic painting on canvas panel with vintage book paper of poem, "Success". collaged on table. Collage reads as follows:
"I hold no dream of fortune vast,
nor seek undying fame,
I do not ask when life is past
That many know my name.
But I can keep the right
I may not own the skill to rise
To glory's topmost height,
Nor win a place among the wise,
And I can live my life on earth
Contented to the end,
If but a few shall know my worth
And proudly call me friend.
