Shannon painted this portrait of his wife and daughter sometime around 1900 to 1910. I was drawn to this painting because it reminded me of being read to by my own mother. One of our favorites to read together was &#8220;Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening&#8221; by Robert Frost. I chose this audio pairing to evoke the feeling of being read to by a parental figure as illustrated in the painting. The painting becomes an experience when paired with poetry reading; in this particular work I am drawing on my own experiences and memories of childhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Terms of Use: On the Dunes, Reading by Emma Preston.
