from a Monday night out at Daybreak Farms Corn Maze by Leanne Lockhart on EyeEm

Valentine’s was just another busy night in the restaurant business.

"I go through phases. Somedays I feel like the person I’m supposed to be, and then somedays, I turn into no one at all. There is both me and my silhouette. I hope that on the days you find me and all I am are darkened lines, you still are willing to be near me."

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

― Marilyn Monroe

Café (1949). Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita (Japanese, 1886-1962).

Success came quickly for Foujita, and he was commissioned to paint a portrait of the Emperor of Korea, and subsequently, the Japanese Emperor bought one of his pictures. 

In Paris, he was one of the more eccentric artists. His hair was cut in the style of an Egyptian statue; he wore earrings, dressed in tunics and had a tattoo around his wrist.

Stylistically, he amalgamated Japanese calligraphic and ukiyo-e techniques with European Modernism, flattening or eliminating perspective while maintaining a silky sinuous line.
