I simply cannot get enough of Thomas Dewing. This is the third painting in a row of his I've put up here and I love them all. This one is called A Reading, painted in 1897. That's all I know. What I have noticed, and so will you if you google Thomas Dewing paintings, is that he is very fond of this kind of greenish blueish colouring, which permeates a number of his pictures. I expect some art critic somewhere has written a whole thesis about this, but all I can say is that it seems to increase the atmosphere of dreamy strangeness which is really why I love him so much.
