A Poem & A Painting: Girl With The Flower Headpiece

This week’s painting was inspired by one of the Will Cotton photos I posted last week.  Remember this?

I could not resist painting this image!

Girl With The Flower Headpiece by Pamela Copeman

I may be a day late for Easter Sunday, but this is my fantasy Easter hat.  These songs lyrics, sung by Judy Garland in the musical Easter Parade are the perfect accompaniment…

Easter Parade

Never saw you look quite so pretty before
Never saw you dress quite so handsome
What’s more?

I could hardly wait to keep our date
This lovely Easter morning
And my heart beat fast as I came through the door
For

In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it
You’ll be the grandest fella in the Easter Parade
I’ll be all in clover and when they look us over
We’ll be the proudest couple in the Easter Parade

On the avenue, Fifth Avenue, the photographers will snap us
And you’ll find that you’re in the rotogravure
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet
And of the guy, I’m taking to the Easter Parade

On the avenue, Fifth Avenue, the photographers will snap us
And you’ll find that you’re in the rotogravure
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet
And of the girl, I’m taking to the Easter Parade

~Irving Berlin

I hope you had a wonderful Easter!

Pamela
