“Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs;

Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes

Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth,

Let's choose executors and talk of wills”

-William Shakespeare, Richard II

Clifftop Music Festival is an annual event where old-time traditional musicians gather to camp and jam.  It is located in West Virginia at Camp Washington Carver.  When I attended this year everyone said that I should do a painting of the famous water tower which functions as an "Eiffel Tower of Clifftop."  The view I had turned out to be nice as the sun was setting.  You can glimpse the canopies under the trees.

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying."
