Clover, Clover, Grass: BTS (Behind the Scenes)

 ABOVE: SweePo & Satisfied getting costumed (by me) to go see the sun set.

The laptop shows the reference painting. As some had figured, it's "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose" (1885-86), by John Singer Sargent (at the Tate).
I'd mentioned it earlier but hadn't posted a photo.

I was going to try for an exact reproduction, but the field of white clover at the creek fit the girlettes better.

They walked there themselves, carrying their lanterns...


. . . but needed help positioning for the camera. (Marz took this photo.)

It was a beautiful evening. Marz read aloud from The Hound of the Baskervilles, a perfect book to read out loud.
FrankColumbo had come along too. As a detective she has a special interest in the doings of Sherlock Holmes.

  1. They’re really scurrying through the clover.

    Is that a tiny book, or is it the camera’s doing? Either way, it suits the scene.

    1. Yes, it’s a very little book! Unplanned but fitting.
