Weekly Tanka Prompt Challenge: Week 59 – Portrait & Lady
The words for this Weekly Tanka Prompt Challenge are “Portrait & Lady.”
I used to live in Alhambra, California, a city close to Huntington Library in San Marino, California. During those days, there was no admission fee. A minimal fee per car was required as a donation. I made frequent visit to the Library. The Huntington is situated on approximately 120 acres of land with Botanical Garden, Library, and Art Collections. The portrait of Sarah Barrett Moulton: Pinkie is a permanent collection of the Huntington. Hanging opposite to Pinkie is The Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough.
I have both prints hanging in my living room.

Miriam they are beautiful photos and you cannot imagine my thoughts as these two have been childhood favourites. I used to collect cards and these two I would not part with as a child. Thank you for the share and the memories it brought back

You’re very welcome. Yes, we bought the large prints and hung on the wall for 30 years. I’m glad it brought back memory to you!

Beautiful Photos and Tanka.
It’s amazing what stories can be told in so few words, by writing it in tanka poetry form.
Happy days waiting for the arrival of your first grand child.
