There's always one or two works that I, personally, really connect with on each visit to an art gallery. This time I liked The Lesson by Thomas Armstrong. The painting looks very severe from here, but it provokes a totally different feeling in real life. I actually laughed out loud. I wonder if you can guess why I liked it so much.
The other painting that really inspired me was Hercules Wrestling with Death for the Body of Alcestis by Frederick Lord Leighton. This is only a small portion of the entire painting, but it's the part that really struck me.
It made me think of a friend I am praying for. I do not understand what actually happens in the supernatural realm when we pray, but I know that prayer can sometimes feel as if something like this is really happening in the spiritual realm.
