Girl looking at spiderweb, 1908

A girl kneeling among a bed of flowers, by Jessie Willcox Smith

  Sometimes pictures need no words - they're gorgeous and perfect just the way they are. Jessie Willcox Smith's paintings are that way. 

  So I leave you with this one. May you enjoy it as much as this girl seems to be enjoying her flowers. (I hate to admit that it was only when I enlarged the image that I noticed the spiderweb the girl is looking at with...is that surprise? fear? wonder? Let me know what you think!) 


This image, from "Dream Blocks" by Aileen Cleveland Higgins, was published in the United States circa 1908 and is now in the public domain. Click on the image for a larger version and then save and enjoy!
