Maurice Rigoler August 6, 2020 at 2:32 PM I am familiar with Sargent's paintings, Kim. You've captured his style of the socialite women he captured on canvas. Many thanks for reading my humor. / M

Sara Kendrick August 6, 2020 at 7:49 AM I think this must be a contest entry. Reads like a good contender. Thanks for the visit to my page and for the understanding comment. Sara Kim Rodrigues August 6, 2020 at 8:56 AM Thank you! No, just a musing! :)
