Today is the big day when there is a chance, just a chance, that we won’t have to be cut asunder from our 27 friends and allies in Europe – and then spend the next decade begging them to forgive us and allow us to be their friend again. But who knows what tricks our wrecked political system has in store for us? More deep breaths and another soothing painting: this is Still Life with Roses and Peaches by Margaret Fisher Prout (1875-1963).
