    wonderful image Sophie-I like the strong diagonal contrasts and the deep velvet reddish/pinkish/brownish/purplish tones—-suggests glimpses into the unknown.

    there is much to see in this purple garden ~ the canary in the upper left and the portrait of a face to the center right ~ wearing a lilac scarf ~ all in the feeling of reflecting rippled waters in the dappled light of the afternoon…xx
