And pointing out what had not been intentional, but I wondered if anyone would see it besides me: some or all of the items DO appear to be floating, don't they? I took it to be just one more aspect that is similar to the Old Flemish Masters. Many times, although the composition of the paintings seemed quite perfect and serene, there were almost always aspects of imperfection in their works: a slightly rotted piece of fruit, little insects crawling, etc.<br /><br />I'm grateful for your visit and your comment!<br /><br />BettyThe Gossamer Tearoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730159829276259194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667578759032311240.post-34263984763402887872014-01-16T09:13:25.655-05:002014-01-16T09:13:25.655-05:00I adore these floating items under these dark side...I adore these floating items under these dark side of the moon!<br />Well done Bettty!! :)Simhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082541334883135712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667578759032311240.post-10046510396211598312014-01-16T08:56:39.869-05:002014-01-16T08:56:39.869-05:00Dear Johanna, June, Sirkkis, Manus, Ann (Taluula)...Dear Johanna, June, Sirkkis, Manus, Ann (Taluula), Anni and Linda,<br />Thank you so much for visiting The Tearoom this week!
