Laura E. Swan level-classic September 29, 2009

Do you know what I like about this one, Jeff? Yes, yes. Lines and shadows, indeed! But there is more! I really like that the ENTIRE -IMAGE- is LINES. EVERYWHERE. The roof to the right, details to the left...

I also appreciate the extra style this has in the rails, the boards are curved (weaved?) just enough to give it some added interest to the shape and in the shadows.

Added to this, the floorboards are as straight as they can be for contrast of form.

Really super find. You have good eye!
