A letter to summer—
 
“My Old Love” is a painted postcard, a quiet whisper to seasons gone by. It captures the ache of longing for past summers—the kind that is softened by time and bathed in golden light. A poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow anchors the piece:
 
“Then followed that beautiful season …
Summer —
filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
and the landscape lay as if new created
in all the freshness of childhood.”
 
This painting is a love note to what once was: the warmth, the wonder, the fleeting magic of a season that shaped you. It invites the viewer to remember their own tender summers—the ones that left their mark, then quietly slipped away.
