So many places to visit....<br /><br />Picnic on Christmas day sounds absolutely delightful!Eirenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350820845130506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192227531617038362.post-50252906563801244062015-05-12T22:04:47.562+01:002015-05-12T22:04:47.562+01:00Yes, I agree that the Studland Beach painting is i...Yes, I agree that the Studland Beach painting is impactful. It seems mystical, as if the figures are worshipping - as indeed so many of us worship the sea. I am fond of the place itself - or at least I used to be years ago. My husband and I sometimes used to go there for a picnic on Christmas day, when there was no-one else around. Nowadays it always seems to be crowded, even on the coldest of days.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192227531617038362.post-44901446961856211212015-05-12T16:59:26.388+01:002015-05-12T16:59:26.388+01:00Olga, I remember very clearly the first time I saw...Olga, I remember very clearly the first time I saw Strudland Beach - the last one, the last radically simplified version - it made such an impact one me! And it still does. I think it's a wonderful painting, and one that affects me deeply. I also like a lot the abstracts she painted in 1914. So, I thought that this was an opportunity to learn more about her. I am still at the stage of reading and thinking - I am not going to start writing for a while yet, but we are away a lot this term, so I had to start my thinking early. I am enjoying it enormously.Eirenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350820845130506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192227531617038362.post-63646562522106809872015-05-12T14:35:10.353+01:002015-05-12T14:35:10.353+01:00Thank you for sharing these.

I hope that you are enjoying writing your essay.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.com
