Famous Lincoln Memory

Posted in daily painter, dogs, Serendipity, tagged Little Girl in Blue Armchair, Mary Cassett, National Gallery on May 13, 2019| Leave a Comment »

In reality it is a Brussels Griffon but I still think Lincoln looks like it. Read more about the painting and it’s history here.
