the painting unseen

this painting always hung on the wall in the hallway near my room.

i always saw it, but never really LOOKED at until i saw it in my parent's basement months ago, at which point i took it for my own.

maybe it's because i've lived in downtown Laconia for too long, and my dwelling has made me appreciate it more.

or maybe i am gaining perspective as i age.

now i sometimes stare at this painting for a long time.

i want to live in it.
