:thumb303234038: The visual concept of "Woman Reading," or, "Lady Reading," has always been a favorite of mine.  I'm not sure why this theme has such lasting fascination.   I guess there is something special about women contemplating literature, whatever it may be.   The photo-manip above is my latest contribution to the genre.   It's entitled "The Flowering of the Mind."   Here are some further works in various styles by other artists. :thumb292443369::thumb299699629: :thumb293486626: :thumb292732185: :thumb284264447: :thumb283965428: :thumb282323447: :thumb277041647: :thumb261638983: :thumb229455794: :thumb95752579: :thumb61267711: :th
