BEAUTY: Painting--Jillian Denby

The bucolic landscape paintings of artist Jillian Denby remind me of works by Constable and Fragonard...except for the puzzling, fascinating groups of people far in the background, doing who knows what...skimming ponds, building fences...which makes for wonderfully elusive narratives.
