Don’t ask me why, but they look like rows of Romanian nuns that are lined up getting ready to start singing psalms. They have just said a prayer, that’s why they’re hands are still folded. A very nice painting, Diane. Very folkloristic.
Thank you for commenting! I like that – Romanian nuns … I thought maybe it was a Middle Eastern pattern … but I did see a row of women lining up too!! I like folkloristic!
I see the nuns too, now that you point them out. But from this distance I can’t tell if they are Romanian or Armenian :). Yes, it has been a very quiet day, not many comments on my blog either
Hi Neda, thank you so much for writing about this painting! I am delighted that you can perceive the strong emotions … whether from words or from the painting itself! But you are very accurate! Thank you,

Hi Bobbie, thank you for taking the time to stop by here and saying hi! I guess we all agree they are nuns anyway!

I love the way you were able to convey such strong emotions in such a restrained way. Thinking of you…
