"They're always waiting for you there"
Oil, canvas 30Ñ…40 cm
Artist Mishel Alekyan, Armenia
I saw this and a certain setting from the books came to mind. I won't name it just yet because I wonder … does any particular place come to your mind when you look at this beautiful painting?

The cabin in the woods?
My guess is the Rousseau home in Blanc-Sablon. I imagine a little rifle poking out from behind the curtains upstairs.
That’s what came to mind for me, too, Mei Lan. But then the overall feeling was that in a broader sense, it could be any of the Three Pines homes or shops, “always waiting for you there.” It seems a place-specific picture on the one hand, but has a more general emotional impact to it as well. Another lovely picture — thanks, Katherine! I love that texture on the canvas!
For me, it was that isolated, cold feeling that Blanc-Sablon gave me, so it was the Rousseau residence with Gamache outside, wondering if he was going to get shot.
I love how art is a different experience for everyone and it’s interesting to me to learn how different it is, and why there are those differences. A little more digging into human psyche, I guess. I love the texture too Susan! That’s one of my favourite aspects about oil paintings.
