Spirit of the Harpeth

Luke Beata, age 18

Harpeth River, Tennessee USA

This work portrays the beauty of the river through idealistic eyes.  Signs of man’s negative impact upon the Harpeth have been ignored.  The fantasy-like hills, swirling sunset, and seemingly boundless waters symbolize the untamed purity of nature and suggest that a similar quality lies between the true heart of humanity. The woman depicted parallels the wild beauty around her, ultimately implying the importance of protecting and maintaining  the environment which is so much a part of us.
