@juliedduncan Thank you, Julie! Does this mean I'm a little too obsessive? 😉

I think you are giving sound advice. They all look as though they could do with a bit of cheering up. I hope you have entertainment planned for them. Excellently done Sir.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@helenhall Don’t they, and especially St. John the Baptist? Can’t figure out why Botticelli have him this green-yellowish hue... thanks a lot, Madam!

He (John) does look a tad under the weather. The Baby Jesus seems to be the only one aside from you, that is aware that something is just off.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@joysabin You're so very right... I can't help finding nice that here as in the "Madonna della Melagrana" (30 Jan) Botticelli depicted the Child waving hallo with his little hand...

[Richard Sayer]

He's been overdoing the locusts...
