Featured Wentworth watercolour

So interesting to see what people get from the painting

Perhaps just the artist knew

 

I don't know my ass from my elbow sometimes, but have always been treated with kindness and encouragement here from day one

 

Gots my vote.

 

Ouch, not ashamed to say I had to Google forelorn

That's a pretty dark interpretation

I love it

 

WOW!!! What a forlorn scene!! I don't see a leg near the blanket....I do see a brown haired head face down and a red shirt with white-ish suspenders all partially showing, leading me to think it's a boy, and all of what's said about the rest of the scene... obviously (to me) not a happy one......did the child even survive........

 

Didn't really see the tragic nature of the painting at first aqui

I think what anti saw in it makes the most sense

Makes you wonder about the artist, and why he would choose to paint such a subject

 

He's almost posing, as if he's having his photo taken

 

I see a ferry man dropping people off at a path on the other side of the river.

I took a few painting class and since then I look for those directional devises. these are very well done. The man is the focal point and the woman in red is important enough to include and "point" out. I think that is his jacket in the bottom of the boat. Poling is hard work!

 

Is there a letter "A" after "Wentworth"?

 

A is what it looks like fig, something after it as well

 

We're not seeing any "scurrying"... to us, looks like someone sitting placidly on an oddly-placed rock...

 

Hmmmm.... see what you mean .... LOL! I took that to be the shadow under the figures cape. I also took what some are seing as a cane, to be the figure's leg (though on closer inspection, they may have a broken leg) as they take large strides at due haste..... hence scurrying.

 

Yup, and the woman is not happy that her ride is being held up by his vanity !

Row...row...row yer boat..........goddamnit !!
