Gossamer. Such a strong thread. This peasant girl is as much enmeshed as enraptured by reverie of recollection she's enjoying. Her life is changed. All indeed for her is changed, Not just by the joy of having, let's say, been cocooned in a web of romance but having been her spider's willing co-spinner. Indian Summer will give way to the onset of Autumn and she will find her present emotion changing with the season. Her life she will soon realise is all changed, irrevocably.
A really well-turned ekphrasis Camila. As the picture provoked fresh art from you, so your words provoke me to reflect on the possibilities of the scene.
The bare, dusty dirty feet and the alert, knowing black dog are I sense details drawn from something(s) in the artist's real life and worked into the weave of his imagination in making this painting.
I've never seen the painting or encountered a work by this artist before. So, for me, your choice works, literally, to widen my horizons. Thanks.
Thanks so much, David!
Thank, you!
(I have so little free time right now, but I will get to this prompt when I can…the one from Monday, April 15, I finally got to on Sunday the 21st!)

Thanks. It's a wonderfully ambiguous image, Rob. Perfect for this exercise.

The bare, dusty feet caused quite a stir when the painting was unveiled, but it went on to be a favorite!
Sounds like real life. Brutal uncaring, yet the misfortune might become a treasure in the the end?
I love the way you put words together.
