Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

painting entitled Day Dream

This is a beautiful painting by Dante Rossetti. It is described as a woman of unattainable beauty, who lives not in the real world, but sits aloft in a tree. She has a book in her lap, but her unfocused eyes prefer the wanderings of her mind to the certainties of the written word. (Sister Wendy Beckett) I think the painting is beautiful and am trying to order poster on-line, but have never ordered anything before. Hope others enjoy painting as well.
