This is one of my favorite paintings! I love the one where they're running out from the rain, too, but this one, the way she looks up at him with just the hint of mischief, is my absolute number one favorite :)

Oh, what a great picture. I don't think I've seen that piece before but I've seen other things by that artist. Beautiful.

Beautiful! I haven't seen that painting in years and had completely forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me!

Oooh so great. I love the glow that the sunlight puts on the whole scene. Awesome :)

Oh, this is one of my favorites. It has a sister piece, I think it's called The Storm? They both hang in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and they are HUGE and beautiful. I remember being particularly moved by both of them. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory!
