I can't stop ...This is all kinds of wonderful! I can't stop studying it! I love the juxtaposition of the bright "young" colors with more subdued and older colors, the bent-glossy-scraped-holey textures positioned rigidly flat against the wall, the lines and angles from the edges and shadows and siding on the house partially obscured by the round, rooted-but-free-flowing and fluffy bushes, closed doors that look open and inviting, the ladder and traditional trellises on the ends...and then, of coures ta-da! the pies de resistance...that crazy door standing by itself out in the yard! I could go on and on and I could also make this represent all kinds of life predicaments and stories in my head--like doors that are blocked by a big wall, the big bush still trying to get through some where- some how and another door wide open through and all around and on top with hinges that don't hinge but still a door full of promise and, well--too much talk about art sort of detracts from its purpose sometimes, which is just that it is wonderful to look at and feel from and makes you appreciate the artist's eye. I get a bit carried away. But I think you should send these pictures to a magazine or something.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445620923321606006noreply@blogger.com
