My neck hurts. How much longer does he need me to look at this letter? Are all painters this slow? I need a break. I want to look out the window, take in the horizon, but there is no horizon, not really, just more buildings blocking my view. Anyway, what view am I allowed other than this damn letter? My neck is stuck at tilt; here comes an unseasonably cool breeze. I am going to put this letter down and close the window. I am. I’m cold. My neck hurts. I’m done. I’m closing it right now. Right now, Jan.

Oh, soooo clever!!! I saw the painting almost immediately. (Or a combo, but she was wearing a pearl earring.)
ReplyDeleteI confess to having a dearth of cleverness and had no idea what was going on until I read Mali's comment. And now I agree with her: very clever! (And thank you, Mali!)
ReplyDeleteI was in the weeds a bit, mostly because I have a bad habit of reading the title and promptly forgetting it! So very clever, as Mali pointed out, but also finely crafted. There's a cadence here that I love.
ReplyDeleteI love this one! Very clever as has already been said! I didn't get it until the Jan. Then I looked up the painting. I don't know that I have ever seen that one. Is it the same model as Girl With a Pearl Earring?
