| Strangely enough, this painting has always found a place in my house, since a stranger gave it to me. Strange as it may sound, a single mother of 5 children and I belonged to the same church and while she didn't join in the Ladies Group, she still presented it to me as a wedding gift. Strange too that she soon moved away, still to this day I don't recall her name. Strange that I have kept this it's not a real painting some may say it's colors are beginning to fade..... the two men and one dog pictured here are strangers too. I guess it isn't strange to hold on to things that are dear to us and her gift to me is still very dear. Strange huh? |

I love that Constable painting!
hmmmmm...strange....strangers...i like strange!!
is he stuck in the muck in that painting? or is it raining? or is trying to drive through a pond?
merry merry! :)
Now that was a strange tale indeed.
I love Constable - such peaceful scenes!
Love those buildings in the background. Catching that guy walking by, and the look on his face, just adds to it.
I don't see anything strange about it-I love that painting. I have a Harvey Dunn print in my living room that I gave to myself--but I constantly stare at it and learn new things
We have had Constable's painting of the Hay Wain on our wall for years. I never tire of looking at it even so.
....and here's me looking at the bright colours on the buildings!
Strange That Constable Wasn't A Policeman........
That is a lovely painting.
Some times its the small things in life that hold our attention.
Like this painting given by a stranger whose name you don't remember.
I love this painting so I don't find it strange at all that you've kept it for all these years. What I do find coincidental is that a fellow blogger would post the same painting... small world now isn't it?
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
Great post- I'm sure we all have things we hang on to that have tales behind them- this makes me look at some of the things I surround myself with in a different light
Merry Christmas

That fellow has a very elvish look, doesn't he?
Writer, yes! I have to agree with you, he does!
