Life. Art. Stuff.

Ask me anything   Submit   I am not an expert in art, life or just about anything, but I know what I like and I hope you find my strange likes interesting as well.

I’ve always loved this portrait. Maybe it’s because the artist seems to have attempted to realistically portray this couple. Looking at it, one can’t help but be reminded that these were once real, live people.
