It is going to be a lovely summer in the Midwest I hear -- mild summer predicted. Unfortunately, the PNW is in for some hot temps.

The trim on her garment contributes to the Madonna quality, and the leaves and grasses are soft in a way I haven't associated with Picasso. Thanks for posting!

Hard to determine where she and her task of egg-gathering seperate, so I guess they don't. How he got it all to balance believably on a ladder is remarkable.

If it hadn't already been called Farmwife . . . by Picasso, I might have thought it a Madonna painting (getting myself in trouble with that one, I'm sure). :) Serene. Peaceful. Lovely. Thank you for sharing one I haven't seen either.
