I Photoshopped the image below...dry brush. Click on an image to see it larger. The one above is just the way Gainsborough would have seen the lady if he had been there today.
My photo du jourI'll call Lady Barbara. A docent at the San Diego Museum of Art, she made her hat to wear when she tells people about Thomas Gainsborough's women. I like her style. The other photographs today are curbs and other random stripes in front of the museum. They remind me of Museum's exhibit of Howard Hodgkin's abstracts.
MUSEUM

The artist put midnight on a brush
and rolled it across a wide canvas
doing magical things to meadows.

Lovers hiding in thick moon shade
don’t ever go back to unhappiness
or on to consequences of leaving
promises broken or tasks undone.

In another room passion is red...
Disappointment is a bluer black
and green squiggles struggle
to undo the audacity of magenta.
