Morning has broken, like the first morning Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the morning Praise for the springing fresh from the world Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven Like the first dewfall, on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung…
Author: At Sunnyside - Where Truth and Beauty Meet
Sunnyside was born many years ago, the name of my fictional home for orphaned children and animals in a story for Mrs. Watson’s eighth grade writing class. A medical degree and six biologic homeschooled children later, Sunnyside became the name of my classical education website, Sunnyside Classical Christian School. Now entering a new phase of life, I plan to rest and reflect on all things true and beautiful here At Sunnyside.
Who is the lovely woman pictured above? Meet my kindred spirit, Euphemia White Van Rensselear in my favorite portrait painted by George Healy in 1842

Joaquín Sorolla: White Slave Trade (1895)
“This canvas is one of the few examples that the museum preserves of the social realism that Sorolla cultivated in the period from 1890 to 1899. This current, which burst forth with force from Europe and focused interest on the most dramatic circumstances of the less favored classes, was a regular presence in the Salons…
Mozart: Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-Flat Major, K. 493: I. Allegro
“Painstakingly composed with small touches of brilliant colour, Couture sous la grande pergola illustrates Henri Martin’s mastery of Neo-Impressionist technique, as well as his penchant for classical motifs. Depicting an outdoor scene, this work captures the vibrant effect of sunlight coming through the foliage of a pergola in subtle variations of perfectly harmonised tones. Decomposing…

Renoir: Mademoiselle Grimprel au ruban rouge (1880)
