Me too - often it tells a lot about the period, the kind of symbolism that is used. It's fascinating.

It's a lovely painting! I adore that poem despite the morbidity.

Monet painted from death? I didn't know that, though I know Caravaggio did.

I hope you get all you deserve for the bonnets - they looked lovely and so well made!

Well, he painted his wife on her deathbed - I'm not sure if she was actually dead at the time but it's a pretty morbid, creepy painting.

Thank you ♥ My mum worked out that, if we were going to charge minimum wage, we ought to get about £700. Instead we'll be charging somewhere about £300. So there's quite a difference :o
