Rosemaryrose,
Yes I was looking at several art museum websites, passing the time and not doing my work, and was reminded of several paintings I had not seen in awhile.

44's got a very distracting hip shakin pink man so I thought I would calm things down a bit plus it causes confusion which is always fun and I am random also!

Here's a brief excerpt from an article about the real Christina which I think says a lot about why I put it up, at least for the moment as I change my mind often:

"What inspired Wyeth to paint this image of a disabled woman, alone in a field, apparently looking at her home? Was Christina posing for this painting or was she doing something very ordinary for her? Did Christina have polio? Do we wonder about what is missing? If she had polio and cannot walk, where are her braces, crutches or even her wheelchair? Why is she alone in this state of helplessness? Her arms, forearms and legs seem so thin. We cannot see her face. Is she frightened, scared, crying, screaming for help or just determined? Is she a young woman or even middle aged? Like any good painting, each of us will see and feel various perceptions from this painting."

In the end I see her as a determined middle age woman.

(It's a mixed-up muddled-up shook-up...nevermind. Too easy.)

Thanks for the link; I'm a big Wyeth fan. I wonder what Ray's tastes are in the visual arts? Also what does he like to read? I know he loves Noel Coward.

I actually bought a collection of his stories, but have to admit I never got around to reading any of them. It's still on my 'to read' list. Has anyone here read NC? Did you like him?

Sorry for interrupting the game. Kinks song in my head: "Situation Vacant" because of the recent post about the song describing someone's mother. Very funny! Don't forget May 14th -- Happy Situation Vacant Day! (I have some of those.)
