@Curry, ah yes, I like the The Fighting Capercaillies. It's a first viewing for me, and I really like it's peacefulness and harmony, and the use of nature is very pleasing. It somehow has a romantic theme, but in a good way, not in the kitschy "beautiful princess locked in the tower" kind of way. Thanks for sharing that.

@kathycf. Good Hopper there. Once again indeed the loneliness theme, but also once again the great use of colours. Somehow, there really seems a united bonding between the blue, red and yellow. I also see the attraction of Hylas and the Nymphs. Normally I'm not into the classic "pale, bare breasted beauty" thing, that sometimes seems more like a requirement for the paintings from that era, than that it got really painted because of the beauty. Like, the crowd just wants to see boobies. Here however, it's fitting, and I also think it's beautiful in a way. And it's indeed hard to explain why.
