SET ONE - ROUND ONE - MATCH FIVE

"Lovers Painting" (2016 - James Needham) / "Bath Curtain" (1992 - Hugh Steers)

LOVERS: [no additional commentary provided]

BATH CURTAIN: I don’t have any coherent way to describe Bath Curtain just that I want to swim in the colors and I can feel the. the It. I can’t put it into words but if I think about it too hard I’ll start crying. there’s poetry in the way they’re sitting. There’s poetry in the way it takes me ten minutes to track down every time because Google just shows me Amazon listings and mommy blogs. I can’t do this. (courfeyracs-swordcane)
