    Mmmm…funny you should post something from your wall, I was just thinking tonight: How can I put things on a design wall type thing on the empty place in the living room. I like how your space and how you use it allows for this. The bottom right picture is a bit hard for me to see. But the horse has a very “of course” feel for me as every time I see your blog name I think of a wild horse, mane flying. I’m not sure why, but that is how I always think of it.
    So much lifetime and pain in that eye.

    Yes–so much pain–I was friends with a quite famous artist, now deceased (the sweetest most generous woman ever, an advocate for women and someone who always helped struggling artists). Her husband, a famous painter did huge canvases that dealt with torture. I had an opportunity to own one, but knew I could not live with it. I think back now to how much money it might have been worth. But, images we choose to live with are critical to our well being. I’ve looked at most difficult things, and read everything over the years–Now I am selective. I know so much about the dark side of humanity. So, I’m selective, not about what I know, but about what I choose to incorporate into my immediate environment, and disseminate to others. I think your wall hanging is evocative and powerful, and in the abstract-the colors and textures are quite harmonious. You may be working with some powerful message here my dear.

    fantastic collage on your wall, I particularly love that horse. Reminds me of a book I am reading at the moment “Foal’s Bread” by Gillian Mears. I am really enjoying it.
    Thanks for sharing this.

    The tapestries hung in the (castle? ) captured my attention–I saw a face on the far wall. There are three dark-colored hanging tapestries that look like eyes and a nose — to me, from a distance–and the multiple fabrics hanging below those resemble a mouth.

    all my walls are design walls, windows too, the curtains.
    this works for me.
    it’s interesting…i didn’t read the article that eye
    pic came from.
    my friend brings me their NYT to use to start my fires
    with…and i suddenly realized that i was looking at
    COLOR and i love newsprint color, newsprint pics…how
    they appear…
    and that pic with just a bare glance at the article i think was not at all about
    pain
    but determination ?????

    it is the colors i am seeing. the actual images, except
    for the greater and lesser eye, were not important.
    and as i said in Nancy’s response, newsprint pics are
    very interesting to me…very different than glossy
    photographs.
    maybe…a message, who knows, but what i think i’m working
    with is understanding color

    there’s another one now
    funny, when you start wanting to see things, they are
    everywhere. i am looking around the house and amazed
    at how the colors i want now are already here, like
    books on the shelf, a gourd, the old ceramic rooster.
    even the subfloor particle board in the kitchen that’s
    been there for over a year……..
