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

The Nut Gathers
by
William-Adolphe Bouguereau
I specifically went to the Detroit Institute of Art to see Diego Rivera’s mural, which I shall soon share with you; The Nut Gathers was an unexpected gift!
The painting of two girls, in bare feet, lost in conversation, offered a deeply refreshing pause, to a busy day; allowing one to reflect on the simply beauty, of their delicate faces – yes, I did wonder what they might be speaking about.
Art can never exist without naked beauty displaced.
~ William Blake ~
