I was fortunate enough to visit Charleston House AND the Vanessa Bell exhibit last spring, and am looking forward to another visit in early June. Just last year, I started learning about the Bloomsbury Group. Currently, I'm reading "Love in Bloomsbury" by Frances Partridge. Her son, Burgo, married Henrietta Garnett. <br /><br />What a fascinating group of people!<br /><br />I very much enjoyed your post.Sandra L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12996512145634439543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-71220691341415419132017-03-07T13:27:55.358+00:002017-03-07T13:27:55.358+00:00I would so love to be painted by Gustav Klimt; how...I would so love to be painted by Gustav Klimt; how wonderful it would be to become one of his embellished 'Women in Gold' - and how delicious it might be to inhabit the decadent world in which his other subjects seemed to move (well, we can always hope for such adventures, can't we?!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105515951733066105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-90118688492513921852017-03-05T13:41:39.706+00:002017-03-05T13:41:39.706+00:00I fell in love with the impressionists as a child ...I fell in love with the impressionists as a child and have lived in awe of Monet's work. If any painter could be my painter it would be him, his handling of the woman with a parasol and of course poppy fields picture means I would be blurred and elegant (not my normal image :-) ) I know there are many more and I love buying originals when I can afford them (not often) but to be painted by Monet would be a dream come true!Ruan Peathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999492027801288004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-23005717879600305542017-03-05T08:40:53.080+00:002017-03-05T08:40:53.080+00:00Mary Cassatt for me.

There's a delicate beauty about her work which is still often over-looked because she tended to portray domestic settings with women and children as her subjects. I'd like her to show me in an idealised (ie weeded and tidied!) version of my own garden.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13912774665400125173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-22400817872034873252017-03-04T22:16:28.252+00:002017-03-04T22:16:28.252+00:00I'd like to be painted by Laura Knight, in the...I'd like to be painted by Laura Knight, in the Dales if possible, ideally Malhamdale with Malham Cove in the background...Katherine Langrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529700103932422873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-7910660594985576622017-03-04T18:51:40.030+00:002017-03-04T18:51:40.030+00:00I'd love to be painted by Anna Ancher in a lov...I'd love to be painted by Anna Ancher in a lovely northern Denmark rural setting, carrying flowers and in a long dress. <br />Lovely post, Sophia!
