3/8: writing

...about Sofonisba Anguissola's "Chess Game."  I spent my Quiet Writing time mostly putting together some comments on a friend's poetry manuscript, but when I was done I had 10 minutes left and so filled a page with thoughts and questions about the painting.

Your note inspired me to locate an image of this painting, which I hadn't encountered before. I'm grateful for the opportunity to encounter this complex and stirring piece, and I'd love to hear more about your thoughts and questions. I often find that writing about paintings and photographs takes my brain to exciting places, too.
