Maxfield Parrish - Daybreak (1925)

This haunting piece of art-deco classical fantasy nonsense hung in the waiting room of the doctor's surgery in Lowell, Mass.

I'd never come across Maxfield Parrish before, but later learned he was America's most popular artist in the 1920s and 1930s.

The intention is to get the blog more visual, at least for a little while, so there are more paintings to come.
