Some Drawings by Tony Grubhofer
looking out upon broad fields,
with now the ploughman and
his boy and the patient team,
and the startled rooks, or per-
haps a child in the joyousness
of youth, toying with the
daisies at her feet, or a group
of labourers by the hedge,
enjoying their well-earned rest.
One can almost hear the
rustle of the corn as with
steady stride the labourers
move in unison along, or
smell the freshness of the
new-mown hay, or feel the
hopefulness of spring in the
blushing orchard and the
playful lamb, and hear the
trilling of the lark as in its
tremulous flight it rises into
the blue vault of heaven. To
convey such impressions is a
grand and ennobling art, and
worthy is the man who can
do it.
