Valerie,

Thank you for presenting us with such an interesting article about this fabulous painting. I am rather fond of paintings that tell stories and have hidden meanings. I found your depiction of these things fascinating. I definitely agree that this painting should be included in the 2100 Time Capsule. You've convinced me. 

When considering all of the symbolism within the painting, you commented on the dog sitting in between the couple. Would you say that this detail was your favorite symbol in the painting? If so, why? If not, what is your favorite symbol in the painting?

Thanks for the great piece!
Jill
