I don't really notice the house much and I don't see a real contrast between the wide blue stripe and the yellow house. I do very much notice the contrast between the blue and orange/yellow stripes on the street and the subject to me is the intersection of the streets and that patch of grass bottom right that bothers me (surely the photographer intended it to be there but why?). The house appears almost neutral in color and more obscured than not by foliage. The 'point' of most art eludes me though and no doubt the significance of the house does also. I suppose my conciousness just transcends the significance of the physical plane. Greg Fraser
