<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 970516, member: 5833&quot;]The dimensions of the Sauvage painting are 6 3/4 x 9 in. (17.1 x 22.9cm) &amp; yours are 21 x 16 1/2 in.&nbsp; The proportions are very close.&nbsp; Can the overall size of yours be measured precisely in inches?&nbsp; In cm/mm?&nbsp; I don&#039;t think your painting was cut down, think shape was following a decorative fashion of its time.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These seem to me to be there definitely for meaning, maybe twofold: summertime, when roses are in full bloom; fallen, the bloom is off, innocence lost.&nbsp; Dipped a little into the history &amp; meaning of Beltane, which Wiki informs me was more meaningful to herdsmen than to agrarian people, a tradition among Gaels, bonfires a major part of the observance.&nbsp; Not really a good fit.&nbsp; I still think Midsummer is possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
