Popped over to Spitalfields’ antique fair yesterday and
picked up some lovely old postcards with Victorian oil paintings printed on
them. I’m not sure exactly what they will be used for but I imagine they’ll
provide some colour to my A5 Luxe.
One of the pictures I picked up was this one

| Postacard of oil painting. Sir Frank Dicksee - The Confession (1896) |
It’s a
classic Victorian “problem picture” where the artist deliberately paints
something ambiguous. Every time I look at it I am dying to know what she is
confessing. Then sometimes I think maybe it is the man confessing. Is he her husband?
Her Beau who’s marrying another woman? Did she have an affair? Spend too much
of the family estate budget! Hahaha. A thought provoking picture I hope you’ll
agree.
It does make me wonder..
Do you have any confessions this Friday? Anything you’d like
to get off your chest? Well, leave a comment and confess away!
I confess that I lied when someone asked me last week if I
ate any of the humongous sized Galaxy Cookie Crumble chocolate bar. I said one
piece.. but I finished the whole darn thing! And I haven’t exercised for a
week! Oooh the confessions just come rolling out!
There may also be some more serious confessions that should
be aired but it’s also good to keep some naughty little secrets!
Happy Confessional Friday!
