I think that it does look like the mountain forests of Japan.
It is a beautiful composition Jennifer. It feels very right for what we are trying to do... the mood we are trying to set. We are asking the public to quiet themselves so that they can look with a rested eye on the art that we display there. We are asking them to contemplate, but not to fall asleep. The unusual hue of sky as well as the here and there jolts of reds and oranges are just right. It allows for a relaxed eye to gaze and become interested in just the right ratio.
Thank you for all of your finger cramping work.
The raked stone gardens are just one of many styles of Japanese gardens. They are indeed peaceful and thoughtfully crafted. I can see why the architect is so drawn to them. Myself... I am almost drawn more to the wild jungle that Jennifer has created.
That's the rebel in my I guess
