Everything about it calms and centers me -- the beautiful little girls so intent on their task, the quality of the light (approaching dusk contrasted with the glow of the lanterns), the overgrown garden . . . . This painting makes me happy.Image credit:

ReplyDeleteLove the painting...love the Halloween post below. I've been getting a bit behind lately. Thanks for coming by. Holly at lifelaughlatte.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you'd get that feeling from it - it's beautiful! Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteSargent is one of my favorite American painters! I've never seen this painting of his before ~ it's so beautiful. It captures a wonderful mood!
ReplyDeleteOh, Liz! I ADORE that painting and have for years. I had a huge poster of it from 1983 when it was used as the logo for the Shaw Festival at Niagara-on-the-Lake, which I attended that year and saw Saint Joan.
ReplyDeleteThat poster followed my all through college and here to the farm, and is still here in my home, though disintegrating.
Oh, I love it so, the light, that peach color, that magical dusky quality!
Liz, we are truly kindred spirits!
