A Sunday on La Grande Jatte

Georges Seurat, 1859–1891 · 1884

Parisians relaxing on a Sunday afternoon on an island in the river Seine. Look closely — the whole picture is made of tiny coloured dots (Pointillism).

Why it's great for language

A park full of people doing different things — perfect for the present continuous.

A gentle note

Georges Seurat's work fits present continuous, the city, family vocabulary better than "present simple". Try one of those focuses, or pick another artist from the gallery.
