Happy Here



At first, Neal painted originals -- seascapes, the market, the café proprietor who smiled even as she refused his dinner invitations -- but in every composition, his paint strokes revealed the distinctive shapes of the Chrysler Building. After a dozen wasted canvases, he dropped his brush and tried to lose himself in long runs on the beach instead, with only gulls for company.

But the urge to paint persisted. He found a bookshop, a glossy tome of reproductions, and set to work -- two Vermeers, three Renoirs and a Mona Lisa -- finally shaking those art deco ghosts and forging his way to peace.

I like that. Nice tag to both episodes. Specially for the 'missing scene' in 4x02 opening - great way to tie it up. And the addition of the title and the drabble itself speaks volumes.

I love that line. So sad.
