Oh wow, that is beautiful.
I’m enjoying the art samples. Please let it be a frequent feature. As long as nobody objects, I will continue to post this link:

It’s well worth the trip to Toronto.
The grass behind her, to the right, is a nice touch. It likely balanced the painting better when it was clean and new.
Gorgeous. I also hope you’ll continue showing art, and historic photographs, another art form.
