Books, flowers, and a snack

Read, read, read. That's all I can say.
~Carolyn Keene, The Secret of the Old Clock


Two paintings by William Henry Margetson and one by Giovanna Garzoni. The first painting reminds me of Nancy Drew, or maybe a more grown-up version of the youngest Dashwood sister, Margaret.

Oh definitely Nancy Drew. Perfect "likeness."

And speaking of perfect, the subject in Fresh Lavender has a perfect smile. :-)

With the cherries, you can tell they were a "live" subject by the variations in color. Beautiful painting.
