Windows
Windows within windows -- something that always attracts me.
I love how Edward Hopper painted windows. Even though they were often a small part of the overall painting, each one had a sense of identity.
Once, I did an interview with an artist whose entire show featured paintings of various windows. When I asked her what drew her to windows, she waved off my questions and proceeded to talk about how hard it was to paint each day and prepare for a show. I remember wondering if she was bored, and could no longer see past the window to the wider beyond. And there I was, wishing I created art well enough to be able to have a show at a large gallery.
I guess it just goes to show you… (pun intended)

I like your windows, Ms. M. I hadn't thought about Hopper's paintings that way, or anyone's, for that matter. I'll look at them differently from now on, thanks to you.
Thank you, Petrea. Your photos and commentary on your blog also give me a new way to look at things.
