Private Collection

‘Light Enough to Travel’ is the final track on the album ‘Blue Horse’ by The Be Good Tanyas.

The song is bouncy with dreary lyrics about being on the run, or perhaps about keeping things light so she can keep moving. I misheard some of the lyrics of this song for years. These misheard lyrics are handwritten into the background of this painting.

The two figures in this painting are directly inspired by the painting ‘The Reluctant Bride’ by Auguste Toulmouche.
