I love 'The Critics', so much going on in that painting!

[Victoria K. Walker]

Many of Harold Harvey’s paintings are like short story prompts! :)

[David Roberts]

My favorites: a tie between The Critics and The Old Kitchen. I also liked Reading the News.

[Victoria K. Walker]

Great choices! :)

Stanley Spencer's 'Disrobing of christ'. What was he on?

[Victoria K. Walker]

It’s part of a set that were commissioned by a Henry Slesser and his wife for their private chapel, but sadly in the end they were too large. A very interesting group of paintings, certainly 🤎

[Marina von der Ruhr]

So many beautiful stories in these paintings. I especially love The Critics. It's all too familiar. Thank you once again for sharing.

[Victoria K. Walker]

Thank you, Marina. I love The Critics, and Harold Harvey! :)

[Marina von der Ruhr]

Yes, I hadn't heard of him before. But he captured life perfectly.

[June Girvin]

Lovely, lovely, lovely. I especially like The Latest News, Burford High Street (I know it well) and Girls on a Jetty.

[Victoria K. Walker]

Thank you, June. Lovely choices! :)

[Glenn Brigaldino]

So kind of you to share so many photos of paintings. Art, for my part at leas, I would never have seen otherwise.

Very good paintings to sooth the mind. Thanks

[Victoria K. Walker]

Thank you, Glenn. And you’re very welcome! :)

Victoria, thank you for the amazing stuff you bring to light

I think I might just have to spend the rest of my life visit all these museums to see these paintings not just as digital prints

[Victoria K. Walker]

You’re very welcome, Daniel. That sounds a great thing to do. An art road trip! :)
