To what year would a Victorian time-travel?

This exquisite painting by Janet Hill makes you ask that delicious question.

Can you find those little side-winks she put in there for us?

Look at the girl’s nails, hmmmm…they’re painted. I LOVE that.

And the author of the book…?

And the small pocket watch on the back cover?

I just couldn’t love this piece more. The deep greens lend mystery. And that clever gaze over the book’s edge! I have to wonder…what is the title of the chapter she’s reading? What does she know? Who is she looking at?

I love art that puts you on the edge of a story.
