summer afternoon in
grandmother’s garden
follow sunlit pathway
strawberry blonde girl
clutches watering can
to sprinkle flowers
her smile like daisies
picked by chubby fingers
her cheeks reflect color
of bright hair bow and
bold rose briar blooms
garden and granddaughter
both cultivated, well-groomed
portrait of fresh youth
wholesome in nurture

Girl with Watering Can – Renoir

The world where all is well and wholesome and privileged – a perfect description of the Renoir painting. I used to adore his work when I was a child – it’s got that kind of bright glow which appeals to children, doesn’t it?

Yes, his paintings positively glow. Thanks for stopping by 😊
