How very interesting - it also includes the line "what was wood became alive". I wonder if the artist might actually have had that song in mind when painting these. I don't know anything about the paintings, I just saw them when passing and stopped to take photos.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-78511897660294569212011-08-10T20:27:54.427+02:002011-08-10T20:27:54.427+02:00These horse paintings, they look like someone did ...These horse paintings, they look like someone did graffiti all over them, but I think that is the way the artist made them, how interesting. Doe he specialize in paintings that look like graffiti I wonder? Your horse and clock are very loverly. The horse reminds me of the song by Suzanne Vega called "Wooden Horse", about Caspar Hauser. A very haunting ballad.
