Hi Everyone!

We’re excited to launch Creative Clues, a new monthly feature of Art Starts at Louisville Visual Art. With each new Clue, we’ll provide some pointers to help you succeed and improve.

Creative Clues Showcase

CLUE: TREES
Deadline for artwork submission is August 30, 2021 at midnight

How to: Creative Clues “How to:” will be taking the month off, but we have left you some inspiration for your new August Clue.

Trees
BY JOYCE KILMER

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree. 

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

 A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

 A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair; 

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

 Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

 Check out these images of trees and their artists.
