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

Masked Ball at the Opera
By
Edouard Manet
Would this not be the perfect way to ring out the old year? Ah the opera with jesters and all of those shiny top hats, women caring flowers and one even holds an orange, quite a treat at the time — I feel certain this is a joyful crowd. I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year!
Art can never exist without naked beauty displaced.
~ William Blake ~
