Chez Louise

Today I was at my aunt's place (the one who is moving), and she gave me a Jack Vettriano print called "Dance Me to the End of Love". (See an image of it here.) I'm a fan of Vettriano's work, and I think this is a great painting - very elegant, very romantic, the people actually look like people (not a given, what with modern art these days!). It also makes me long for the days when things were simpler. Definitely also makes me wish I had some sort of a relationship at the moment and dance an elegant slow dance! (Not that I'm exactly any good at dancing...) Overall though it gives me a nice fuzzy feeling that maybe there's hope for that simple feeling of happiness and love. What can I say - it brings out the sappy romantic side of me!

And as a bonus, it will nicely match the blue-grey walls of my room. ;-) It was free, too, which was even better - my uncle decided he hated the painting and they don't have anywhere to put it in their new house, so they donated it to me!
