I always approve of ladies having a chill time with dragons. Who needs to be a damsel in distress?

Dragon Resting Its Head On The Lap Of A Woman – R. Leinweber (1912)

I love this picture because the body language (human and draconic) reminds me so much of when the dog decides she really, really needs to be at least half in my lap while I’m chilling with my computer.

Like, the dragon is all I adore you so much please pet behind my ears please and the lady is just sigh fine you always do this and I was going to get up for a glass of water but I guess I kind of love you too.

The old clock on the stairs by Taylor, William Ladd, 1854-1926

I love how the title focuses on the clock you can barely see and not the ghost wedding party right in front of it.

This is like titling the Mona Lisa “A River and Some Hills” or The Last Supper “A Long-Ass Table”.

My interpretation of it is: the artist could only see the stairs and the old clock (for ghosts are mostly invisible) and only after the paiting was done did he see what else he managed to capture on canva. You know, like an old photograph… Hence the title. He did not see the ghosts at first.
