WoW! David, What a powerful interpretation of the painting, I found to be impactful as well. And you wrote this monorhyme. Excellent job. Congratulations on your 1st place win. It was well deserved. PS, I chose the same painting. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Heya Anne Lise, This is the picture from the 3 that captured my imagination, it’s a pretty tight form to get a story across, so I tried to describe it in blunt rhyme, cheers David
