Dear Beatrice, I've spent the morning revisiting this site for the third time.
It takes me an age as I follow up the various side tracks offered.
I love the variety and detail of the paintings. Wonderful bathing scenes that stay in my mind. Vallotton's work is new to me. Thanks so much for the work you put into light breaks. Seeing the paintings and reading your comments is enriching to me. All good wishes to you and Greg,
I applaud your assemblage here, Beatrice: there is a wonderful lushness and intimacy produced by this mass of female flesh. Then quite apart from the dogs, the unraveling of the mysterious and confusing Titians has entirely dispelled my earlier attitudes – you’ve made them intriguing and lively, and full of added meaning. By drawing our attention to the dogs themselves, in their various attitudes, we see these pictures differently too. JR
