Vignette-Mummy' S Boy

A batchelor,living with his mum
Edouard's print mada a tidy sum
Patterns based on her dress-making trade
Filld h art Vuillard made-
Thus his fame did not fade !

No danger in Vuillard's fame fading, Brian. This poem should be placed beneath his work. I did not know about his mother's seamstress skills. It is a hobby I enjoy as well. Was on staff at Monmouth U. as a costume designer for years. Doubt my "creations" could ever inspire such a masterpiece though. Great work! Love, Carolyn

Absolutely wonderful! As usual an art lesson in the morning. I love it. In just these few lines you let us know the entire story and give us a great visual. A wonderful way to share your love of the arts... by being an artist yourself. Smiles from Lolita
