On Wyeth's CHRISTINA'S WORLD, switch Christina to Dubya, same pose
Edited on Fri Jan-16-09 02:19 PM by Old Crusoe
in the far distant field looking back in desperate yearning at -- not a farm house -- but the Department of English.

2. YDogg, thank you for that catch. It's creepy. I tried it initially and
it did fine. then it doesn't.

I attribute this to demons.

Thanks again.

3. I have loved all the Wyeth's art and especially Christina...
That was my sister's name and we did live in the country. It's how I like to think of her.

Now, after waxing... That's an apropos description of how W must feel from time to time.

4. Hi, JAYD. Yes. Wyeth's paintings generally and CHRISTINA
especially... I love them. This painting has a lonesome beauty to it that I just can't forget. I think it is that lonesomeness, that beautiful lonesomeness, that gives it such a punch.
