  12. Hi Margaret, I agree with most of your readers about the lady with her hat. I’ve been thinking recently about the artwork on that grand scale and how difficult it must be to do.

Thanks for joining in this week. I enjoyed it so much.

  16. Different styles – love the phoenix. I know what you mean about not catching the whole picture. I can never understand how they do these paintings in difficult positions and all. Skilled!
