Watching “Wait for Me” being performed is 80% “this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen” and 20% “don’t let Orpheus get hit in the head with a lamp” being on constant repeat
Was at the art museum earlier and i have a new favourite painting
Is this not the cutest??? Its called ”Me and Brita” and this guy in 1895 was like ”i love this kid so much imma do a painting of us having fun so the world will always know how much i loved her and what a good time we had”
the painting in the background is looking at them like “my word what a cool pair”
More specifically that is Carl Larsson with one of his 8 children.
He came from a extremely poor and abusive background but worked his way into fine society, where he fell in love with fellow artist Karin Bergöö, and his works shifted to painting his home life.
Painting titled “My Loved Ones”
[in reference to his career] “the most immediate and lasting part of my life’s work. these pictures are of course a very genuine expression of my personality, of my deepest feelings, of all my limitless love for my wife and children.”
Take it from a woman of my age: There is nothing love can’t change Even where the bricks are stacked Love is blooming through the cracks Even when the light is gone Love is reaching for the sun
