Surprised
Honestly, I was hesitant to get this tapestry because I was unsure if it would be one of a kind, or just a pattern that everyone else has. But after it arrived, I haven’t stopped looking at it! It is beautiful and one of a kind. I looked at the birds and the design and it brings great joy! I especially like the two tiers above the tree. I assume, this is the ethereal place we live in, and eventually go to. The colors are bright and inviting!!! Truly a masterpiece!
Exqusite and dynamic!
I have a lot of folk art, including a number of other pieces from John Barrow, and I am mostly only interested in depictions of animals, plants, and geometric forms, not humans. However the colors of the women's dress, combined with the condor, make this one of only a handful of pieces I have in my collection depicting humans, and I am extremely happy with it! One thing I realized I especially love about this piece is the dynamism that comes from having the condor sticking out away from the piece's center of gravity.
