This is Julia, who has just received a love note from her secret (to her parents) beau. She works hard on the Montana ranch helping her mother with all the women's-work chores and longs for the day when she will be able to have a place of her own with the young man she loves. In the meanwhile, she sees him twice a week at the church meetinghouse but only for the briefest of encounters.
This gorgeous young lady comes as a prompt for the
So Artful Challenge. Behind her is a window by Dover Publications. Behind that is a watercolor painting I did. Somehow I chopped off the top of the window when I posted. It's just too hard to go back and redo the whole thing, so just imagine the window top.
My goodness Faye, I'm so impressed with your watercolor. It makes a lovely backdrop for this image. And, the narrative is priceless.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being Soartful this week.
