I chose to paint a scene from When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd. As one reads through the story, he or she would read about many of the things painted in this picture. Despite the sadness of President Lincolns death, Walt Whitman described the beautiful day in which the funeral was held. I wanted to somewhat capture this day.
