Thats The Way Ive Always Heard It Should Be

Carly Simon
1971
A pensive woman in a flowing floral dress sits beside an open balcony overlooking a golden sunset. Inside, a piano, fading roses, and a wedding portrait suggest inherited expectations. Warm amber shadows contrast with lavender skies, while delicate lace and an ornate gilded frame enrich this wistful, intricately detailed oil painting.
