 From the beautiful song 'Fingers of Love' by Neil Finn.

Can you imagine that
An itch too sensitive to scratch
A light that falls through the cracks
An insect too delicate to catch?

I hear the endless murmur
Every blade of grass that shivers in the breeze
And the sound, it comes to carry me
Across the land and over the sea

And I can't look up
Fingers of love move down
And I can't look back
Fingers of love move down

Colour is its own reward
Colour is its own reward
The chiming of a perfect chord

I am totally hung-up on that painting. It's the intellectual love child of Georgia O'Keefe and Isak Dinesen. I covet it.

You've got a great contrast going between the light in the painting; the dark, moody furniture; and the texture in the walls. Nice vignette/shadow going on at the top. There's a lot to look at here.

ok yes, great photo, I want to sit there with that light coming into the room redeeming everything, but also it's a great painting, or maybe it's just a great photo making that painting look great. I love that painting.

Great tones and I love the strong texture of the wall. Nicely simple . . . or simply nice :)

Oh, straighten the painting for Pete sake Paul! And make sure when someone sits on the chair not to recline and touch it.
After which one can hear the endless murmur

More than a picture of a painting, the painting serves and delineates the mood of the image. The colors (as we philistines write) are certainly beautiful, those muted blues, greens and whites. And special appreciation for the reflected blue caught by the back of the wicker chair. At the bottom are rich browns, drifting into black, supporting the upper delicacy. The furniture is softly echoed by the bench or table in the painting. Is the antelope skull just hanging there? In a sleight of hand, or eye, it also looks like a bird flying through a window and into the painting. My overwhelming impression is that this is perfect for "The Unbearable Lightness of Being." All categories aside, this is simply absorbing and poetic.

This is a fine, uncomplicated place to sit and relax. I agree with Andi, the painting could be a mirror image of the opposite wall but I believe this is your outdoor porch in the middle of Kruger. This is home.

This is lovely, everything from the underexposed foreground to the green hue atop the image helps make this what it is. Plenty going on yet still minimilist annd the painting could easily be a mirror image of the opposite wall.
