Great White Herons #FrankWestonBenson
A Thousand Mornings #MaryOliver
This morning
the beautiful white #heron
was floating along above the water
and then into the sky of this
the one world
we all belong to
where everything
sooner or later
is a part of everything else....

In 1917, American artist Frank Weston Benson spent his vacation at the Bar-B-C Ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He was a guest of the Hemenway family (also from Massachusetts), and so was a young woman named Natalie Thayer. In his portrait Natalie, the artist captures the young American woman outdoors standing in a light breeze against a light blue sky. She is dressed in simple and practical clothes, like for riding a horse, one of her favorite activities. Natalie sports a floppy brown hat with green ribbon, a beige skirt or pants, thick brown leather belt, and a white blouse with a red scarf tied over it blowing in the wind. She looks off into the distance with an air of determination giving her athleticism and confident bearing the embodiment of an independent "New Woman." Benson dedicated the painting to Mary Polly Hemenway, Natalie's friend and later sister-in-law when Natalie married Lieutenant Lawrence Hemenway on December 12, 1917 in Boston. She passed away in April 1975 and is interred at the Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
