Is art patterned after life or does life follow art? Hmm…deep questions, but we think we might have some insight after Jackie’s decidedly non-American encounter today. You know you’re not in the good ol’ US of A when:
a) you’re talking to two people whose title is ‘Lady’
b) those same two people comment, ‘I’ve been sitting across from this beautiful Pre-Raphaelite’ and they’re not talking about a painting.
Jackie had exactly this experience, and, to make matters all the more foreign, the two Ladies were talking about her! Yeah, she’s the Pre-Raphaelite, and, according to the Ladies, it’s absurd that anyone wouldn’t think of her as resembling a 19th century painting: ‘Oh, I’m sure you hear this all the time, don’t you?’ Well…NO!
Is this Jackie? No, it's 'Proserpine' by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1874.

I love it!
So funny! But those ladies were on to something, I think!
Buffy – what an uncanny likeness! Can’t believe Julian is already one year old. Hope all is well for you!
You have aged very well Jackie!
Rossetti is AWESOME! And yes: J is definitely a Pre-Raphaelite 🙂
Christopher……is that not the reason you married her????
Must be a family trait. Mrs. Lindley once told me I looked like a Raphaelite angel (a male one, mind you) Thanks alot.
