The photos are substantially different. Yours has a strong recessional scheme created by the road/paths receding away from the viewer, whereas the artnet image verges more on fantasy. It's full frontal perspective with a little Alice-in-Wonderland type female child peeping out at the viewer in a highlight just right of center, plus a white rabbit shaped tree stump which seems to be regarding the child. Two massive trees frame the image right and left and suggest its title, "Theatre #4," resembling a stage or constructed diorama. -Lew Schwartz On Tue, Mar 31, 2015 at 1:43 PM, Jan Faul <jan@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > It’s the one with the green mossy trees.
