The sweetness of doing nothing



This is a little how I have felt today:) Just lying down in my secret garden, dreaming and looking into a world that only I can see...

I never seen this picture before in my life, and I don't have any clue on who's painted it, but I think the painting is called Dolce far Niente... I think it might be something like "the sweetness of doing nothing".

It is... I felt the art historian in me awake up again... Wondering about the colour about the woman's dress... If it has any significance... What does waterlilies symbolize? All those kinds of things... And curse myself for not noticing who painted it... But it must be in the same area as the Pre-Raphaelites...

It certainly looks like it.

It reminds me alot of that painting, I can't think of the name. . . (Don't laugh)
It's of a girl laying or sleeping on a window seat or couch or something. The title was probably "sleeping" or something else ridiculous. ;) The colors similar.
