I have just returned from being out of town on vacation and what a nice surprise your post was!

So I have not been posting a Challenge for two Fridays. However, the Challenge resumes this coming Friday, July 13th. More really interesting art for you to ponder...

That painting you like is by Dufy. It is one of his rare evening paintings. Funny how art can grab you and you can't explain why. When I was on vacation I went to a country antique fair and saw a watercolor I just couldn't stop looking at. It was wonderful. It was also a pretty fine artist and the price tag was $1,500. Oh well...

Hope you can make it to the Challenge this Friday...
