Morning Walk (Gainsborough)

A lovely couple out for a summer morning stroll with a tree lined bower in the background. Thomas Gainsborough is known for his portraits, of course, but he is well loved among artists for his landscapes, and particularly the verdant summery type.

The deep greenery of a shady dell, an accord which is the jetty side of chlorophyll, combined with the scent of green tea brewing and a goodly waft of coumarin from a blooming sweet woodruff. This is an early summer stroll in a bottle, you are in an organza dress beside your honey and the white fluffy dog is in attendance. There is a musky undertone to all this green and a dry edge to it all which lends a refreshing quality.
