To love a painting is to feel that this presence is… not an object but a voice.

Merrymakers

Carolus – Duran
Our pleasure and amusement with happy children did not begin with digital photography. I love the overwhelming jubilation felt by the subjects, in this painting.
I wonder if the parrot lives in the home, or has unexpectedly dropped by, and what of the little rabbit figurine, to the right – is this the child’s toy, replaced?
Art can never exist without naked beauty displaced.
~ William Blake ~
