desolate


This is one of my favorite paintings in the world. My grandparents bought it during one of their frequent overseas travels. It hangs in their living room.
Whenever I see it, it reminds me of a certain type of comfortable desolation.

"Comfortable desolation"? hmm... Watch out, Henry David, watch out. (And I'm not referring to the beloved Basset Hound.)
