haunting

not often am i dark on this.
i think of this place as a clean, light, refuge.
similar to how id like a home to be; airy, light and safe.

but recently D and I found ourselves listening to an interview with art historians regarding Edvard Munch and his most infamous 'scream' painting.
They analysed his upbringing, strife and battles with thoughts

""My father was temperamentally nervous and obsessively religious—to the point of psychoneurosis. From him I inherited the seeds of madness. The angels of fear, sorrow, and death stood by my side since the day I was born."

andrew wyeth

ive loved andrew wyeth's christina's world since jr high art class

the movement, the precision, the depth, the angst

there are a pleathora of emotions that this painting represents and captures within the viewer

since then ive become a deeper fan and appreciator of wyeth's works

the muted colors, the stillness, the solitude and mere simplicity.

just seemed appropriate to share others today.
