Old painting connection to new v-blogs (?)

I just wanted to point out the description of the painting previously identified by other users in this forum as Edward Hopper's "Second Story Sunlight"... From the above link, also pointed out previously by other users:
"It's typical of Hopper to treat even a scene of a young girl sunbathing in a stark and joyless manner. Even though they are sharing the day together, the differences in age, dress and activity between the two women suggest a disconnection between them."
Everyone is seeing the rather obvious connection to Bree and Lucy, I hope. "[T]he differences in age (Lucy is an older woman, experienced with "the ceremony"), dress (professional suit vs. Bree's sport's bra)" are the ones that particularly jumped out to me.
