April's Bookish Art...

 
Adolphe Alexandre Lesrel -- Captivated


"A book is like a trapdoor that leads to a secret attic:
You can open it and go inside. And your world is different."

    What a fantastic quote. And that painting is exquisite - that dress! Happy Easter, Lark.

    Indeed! I love how that lady is just leaning on desk like she couldn't stop reading and just leaned on whatever was convenient.

    That is a wonderful quote! The dress is beautiful. I feel like she needs to sit in a comfortable chair, though, lol!

    I absolutely love that quote. And reading lady looks like she's disappeared through that trapdoor already. Great combination of the two. Well done, Lark.

    I really like this art with that floral patern of her dress.

    And the quote is perfect.

    Have a lovely day.

    That reading position looks uncomfortable, but the painting is still lovely! And the quote in on point, as always.
