Hi Cassandra
Welcome and please feel free to join the discussions.

I knew that your avatar was a Fragonard, but had to check out the original, seeing that MLE asked about it. It was part of a series called "The Progress of Love", and your lady was from the painting called "The Meeting"- lovely.

Does your choice of avatar mean that you have a particular interest in the eighteenth century?
