Poetry

I know I’ve used this image of Carlo Dolci’s Poetry on my blog before (not this version of course) but I’m drawn to his painting for a number of reasons.
For one thing, it reminds me of the first time John showed me how to use Photoshop. I chose this image to experiment with, and it’s fascinated me ever since.
I like the idea of Poetry being a woman, and my thinking behind this ATC was a woman checking into a motel to write all weekend. (I once spent a couple of days on my own in a hotel room making collages. But to be honest, what I enjoyed most was ordering room service and having control over the remote).
