Original artwork description:

Inspired by the book of the same name 'Was it Yesterday', a fictionalised account of one man's experiences in First World War France. In this painting the opened book sits upon a table from that era, wallpaper tinged with 'forget-me-not' blue symbolizes the fading of memories of a time long since gone but also bears witness to the present - a jug of fresh spring daffodils and bright scarf cast aside in a hurried moment. So intense are the events the author wrote of, that they feel like they happened only yesterday.

The book 'Was it Yesterday' by A M Bown is available on Amazon.
