interesting background.

[iamcrest]

Hmm … yeh actually, I didn’t observe much the backgrounds till you mention about it. It looks like there’s more greenery/life in the background on the woman’s side - the man’s side looks dead in the first painting.

Personally, I find the second one more intriguing - the red wall looks like a deliberately tilted ceiling; the white ceiling looks like a tilted pillar. The nightsky looks eerie with the black 'clouds'.

I’m enjoying the book so much! Thanks a million!

there is no doubting the impact that environment has on people's psychology.

[iamcrest]

Yeh, that’s a good point raised. And that’s why we have the art of Fengshui - modifying the environment to bring in good luck and love. I heard Ms Lillian Too and her Fengshui magazines are really hot among young Malaysians and Singaporeans now.
You have a nice day =)

Illuminating!

Yeh … it may be an incest relationship, or a man/woman in drag.

Have a nice weekend and keep in touch!
