Sweet Talk

Santa Conversazione - a theme I want to explore:

"Oddly enough, the group was beautiful. Mr Beebe, who loved the art of the past, was reminded of a favourite theme, the Santa Conversazione, in which people who care for one another are painted chatting together about noble things -- a theme neither sensual nor sensational, and therefore ignored by the art of today." -- E.M. Forster, A Room With a View
