There Was a Boy
"Nature Boy", Brian Fisher, Monotype Print with 24k gold leaf. When I was young my Grandma Lula and I were big fans of Nat King Cole. Whenever we listened to records (all the time) I asked that she play his soulful recording of "Nature Boy" over & over and yes... one more time please? This green man image is one of several monotype prints inspired by Eden Ahbez's magical words and Cole's rendition of "Nature Boy". Listen to the link below. Nature Boy There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he And then one day A magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he said to me The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return Eden Ahbez
