This one could be obvious, but maybe not? Who dis? ...fun game!

No time to go look it up, but my guess is it's that painting of the lady on the swing, losing her shoe. But now I can't remember the artist! Boucher? Fragonard? One of those Rococo blokes. :-)
 
It's Happy Accidents of the Swing - Brian has it by mentioning Fragonard (one of those Rococo blokes). :ROFLMAO:

The only reason I knew this one immediately is because I once used this painting in a challenge on another forum to "modernize" the painting.

I knew I'd never match those trees or the hazy ephemeral feel, so I attempted to make it family friendly, instead.

I never finished it, though - I scratched out my flying shoe because I thought I placed it too close to the trees, and then never went back to add it and tidy up the rest of the piece. I liked my idea, but hated my execution - story of my life with oil pastels.

Here's the entire painting:

Here's my abandoned/unfinished attempt at a challenge to "modernize" it:

Oh well. Maybe I'll hunt for it sometime and finish it.
