For whatever reason, it always reminds me of sunbathing on the R-MWC Bell dormitory roof. ~ Caroline Hairston English ’74 

I feel like this painting was in the Main Hall dining hall, and loved the movement of the picture, the freedom it exuded, in spite of the “woman’s work” the subject was doing. ~ Ray Smith Berry ’74
