Hello there. I saw this (below) and thought to myself, this didn't just happen in romantic era paintings, it still happens today, and of course this got the ball rolling in my head. Perhaps my thought is true that paintings show us things that we already know, just in a new and unexpected way. Moreover it is showing us through the eyes of an editor of sorts, we are being shown something quite specifically through their perception of reality. Of course after that there is an argument that one isn't being shown actuality, but a fiction based in fact, lah di dah art speak. Enough of that; over all this was just quite beautiful. Lune sur la fleuve et cetera...
Also, just a quick update. Look at what is going on behind Our Lady's in the garden; pansies out. What's next? Guesses? More gothic garden or something a bit golden summer style. The funny thing that still amazes me is that in the US this would've just stayed as a garden. No need to rip it out and start again from scratch, though if they are doing this twice a year, then not so bad as a whole and none of that just green kind of run down, on its last ends kind of garden.
