In a sandalwood world...

Paul Jacoulet (1902-1960​) born in France but raised in Japan - printmaker - Sandalwood Smoke 1948

Eastern dreaming
A world of nightingales
Butterflies
Flowers and
Willow patterned bridges
Drizzled with scents of
Sandalwood
Dust

In the Foliage

Eduard Gaertner (1801-1877​) Germany - The Family of Mr. Westfal in the Conservato​ry (1836)

A controlled garden
A hint of formal dining
In formal dress
Faces strained in fixed pose
Waiting for the photograph of time

And
A stray toy carriage
Seems lost

And a dog hopes for
Some game...

Park Bench in Waiting...

William Merritt Chase (1849-1916​) - Indiana, USA - Park Bench - In the Park series

A sitting space
Enfolded in the arms of
Warm woods...

A pause in
The scuffle of
Journeys...

Where you can be the centre of the universe
And time evolves
Around you...
