I love these lines - they are like a landscape that continues outside of the canvas - a whole story unfolded for me as I imagined who was closing the window, where they were, etc, etc. I love word-journeys.... I wonder - who opens the door? I thought, wind, cause the print about is rainy. Or person? Mystery......; November 11, 2011 at 9:05 AM
