evocative images of Maxfield Parrish

One way of relating to these gorgeous images by Golden Age of Illustration master Maxwell Parrish is through lifting: in Ecstasy, the girl in blue just executed a perfect snatch or clean, and in the second, she has finished an epic work out. Satiated, empowered, exhausted and happy, she lets her lover dote on her in her private reverie in Daybreak.
