Street Arabs at Play? What an odd title for such fair skinned blond kids! LOL
I never thought of that - not very PC these days, but we still call kids that over here.
I have loved visiting your web page of wonderful paintings.
Thank you for posting the link for Jeremy Paxman - The Times,I also viewed his programme tonight on
BBC1 on the Victorian era of artist's.
Thanks for reminding me. I don't have a tv but it will be on iPlayer later today along with Larkrise. I liked your choice of favourite paintings by the way.
