Cooking inspiration and educational tool

Actually I bought this poster a long time ago with the true intention of learning about herbs. I did not buy it with the intention of displaying it in my kitchen: because well I already have a lovely little kitchen, all decorated out. I really only thought about displaying it a couple of weeks ago. I had put it away, and had no idea it was still there waiting for me to pop it up on the wall!

But I will mention the pros and cons of the poster here:

Pros:

- When I look at the poster now I feel a deep homely feeling, a knowing that everything is ok: the images it contains cause me to remember the earth is my true home - and that is remarkable because that has never happened before when I look at a poster!

- I love the wisdom that the poster speaks in images: it speaks the artistic language of patience, understanding, and respect.

- It evokes a deep feeling of pride and admiration in me, coupled with a sense of the fragile innocence of the earth.

- It is subtle, refined, delicate yet really bold: and I love that in a painting - because it conceals a hidden depth infused with a strong presence. It has a reserved, cold passion about it, and that is deeply attractive to me.

- It is truly soulful, without knowing or being aware of it (if you can actually say that about a painting!)

- Sometimes it makes me laugh, with its funny shapes, just hanging there on the wall!

- It is overwhelmingly beautiful, for me, to look at.

Cons:

- It is too big, too arrogant, and just takes over any room it is in.

- It doesn't give enough information about each herb, and so leaves me with a feeling of being cheated somehow.

Purchase Reason:

- I had a vision in my mind of what kind of poster I was looking for, and when I saw this one, I knew I had to buy it, because it matched perfectly. So, for me, it wasn't really a choice.

Display location:
