Under a porch

Hi folks!

Edward was a master of lights and shadows. In this work, he also reinforces the depth, with the converging lines of perspective.

Thanks for your visits.

“The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde

Dear followers, a few days ago, while talking with Sara P. Lorenzo, a good friend and also an excellent psychologist, she recommended me this classic of literature. I have not yet read it, but she gave me the splendid suggestion to publish this post that links reading with painting and drawing. I’m hopeful you will like it.
