At the beginning of July Squares for some reason I put together 30 not 31 squares, and it was only when I came to write this in early July I suddenly I realised this photograph would not be the final square. I had chosen it because I liked to think it is me pondering the next squares theme. However I needed 31 squares, and for a few days this month the Queen of Squares had no idea what my final square would be. It was all a bit of an enigma, and I was no where near as calm as she looks. Fortunately though I came up with a plan for the 31st, and decided to keep this for the 30th because this painting happens to be called Enigma!

As well as having a great title, this painting by James Sant, a 19th century British portraitist, also happens to be an example of art in perspective. Perspective after all is a technique used to give an image on a flat surface a sense of depth, and I think Sant has achieved a sense of depth and distance behind her. I rather like it.
Hi, BeckyB, I’m one of the Blogger’s World being sent your way by PamK. Reminding me of old times when we were more active in BW. Hope you are doing well. I couldn’t find a more recent post than this. Are you still writing?

Another great one. I was going to guess this was the missing picture until I saw the title of the previous post. 🙂 The subject in the portrait makes me think of the Bronte sisters.

The painting is wonderful! You can really feel her looking into your soul contemplating what’s she is going to do next. She looks a little mischievous. I’d say the painter NAILED IT! 🙂

Indeed it will, so I need to keep busy with my butterfly photography whilst they’re still a-fluttering.

Such amazing creatures. I hope to share a butterfly post myself soon, but my photos are nowhere near the magnificence of yours.
