@rolf-bakker I'm so pleased by your comment, Rolf. 😃Yes, it's a painter. I set up a framed print of my favorite painting by John Singer Sargent (one of my heroes) in my still life arrangement. The original is hanging in the Art Institute of Chicago, and when I was in art school about a block away from the front steps of the Institute, I used to go look at this painting and pray to the painting gods that I would someday paint that beautifully! Sargent painted it of his friends, a husband and wife, who were both amateur artists and accompanied him on painting excursions around Europe. This was done in Italy, from life, in 1907. And here it is...it's entitled "The Fountain, Villa Torlonia, Frascati, Italy."
Fascinating Lee, i knew something was behind this! A wonderful painting by the way.
Thanks very much, Rolf. @rolf.bakker
