Works by Charles Conder (1868-1909) for Art Thursday. Conder was born in England, but was sent by his parents at age 16 to Australia to work for his uncle, a land surveyor. Despite his parents' intentions, Conder ended up becoming an artist, as you can see:

Lovely paintings...soothing and enjoyable.
Glad he didn't become a land surveyor!
There evidently are many whose true love, art, was dismissed as folly. I'm glad too that he painted. Each one's beautiful, but I love that final one. It feels comfortable. Thanks, Tabatha!
