Thanks Harley, Ken. I imagine this wall will be ready for the "Abstracts" thread fairly soon at the rate it's weathering.
Your photo reminds me of the 6-panel folding screens that were popular in classical Japanese painting, like this one by Tosa Mitsuoki.
Another one from the pool hall:

I like the first one better because it's closer to the balance-point of abstraction and realism... and it has 6 panels
I always liked the burlap texture as much as any other element in this photo.

Grain, 1983, Ellis Island, NY
I was taking a workshop in conjunction with Montclair State College and the National Park Service. 3 weekends for the NPS and 3 weekends for personal work. This piece of plywood had at one point been painted blue. It had probably been outside exposed to the elements for 20-30 years. I used a red filter on it.

Richard, it's like a pattern on a fish or bird gone crazy, or like Ralph Steiner's 1929 B&W film H2O.
I always thought this would look good in a psych(oanalyst, iatrist, ologist)'s office. I have one printed at 16x20 and it looks great. BTW, I also have said "pattern on a fish" and "bird gone crazy [dead actually]" images.
