With W, X, Y and Z out of the way this should get easier!
V is for Venus, riding along in her seashell, as painted by Boticelli who really knew how to paint red haired women.
I have a big picture of this in an art book, which shall remain nameless, since I snagged this nice picture off of a web site HERE
I wish that I could find more of these field trips because they would be very, very interesting, exciting and beautiful to take, though very, very short.
Venus and the God of War, old what'shisname, had a cute little love child. We are not sure to this day if Cupid is a devil or an angel!

Besides that, I'd have had to figure out what to do about a window. heehee
