Louise looked pretty enough on Saturday night, but her life was exacting and monotonous.


What an appropriate post for a Saturday night! I've been slowly savoring the book of John Cheever's short stories and have been inspired by several of them. This particular piece was inspired by "O Youth and Beauty".

This painting is gorgeous! And sums my life up!
Beautiful. Will be looking out for it in your shop :)

thank you Cara! The short story is a great read, about people trying to cling to their youth when if they had just stayed home on Saturday night they wouldn't have aged themselves so rapidly to begin with :)
