Esperanza is a large house. However, it is also an old house and the size is sometimes deceptive. There are a lot of windows, doors, interior trim, and immovable mirrors*, bookcases, or pieces of furniture. The end result is surprisingly limited wall space. This was brought home the other day following a visit to an artist in a very modern studio: cathedral ceiling and no interior trim. In her space large paintings (3 feet by 2 or bigger) looked reasonable in size. The same painting would be impossibly large in this house. There isn’t the wall space or the ceiling height. Yet, you don’t realize that most of the pieces of art are fairly small in Esperanza because they are in proportion to the house. It is an interesting aspect to the problem of figuring out why something looks correct in one space and not another. And why double-checking is always a good idea…
*There are six mirrors that are full height or more. There are at least three other mirrors that are both large and critical for boosting light levels in rooms, plus various dresser mirrors…

I can think of only one painting in the house that is roughly that size (2×3) – the one in the Forest Room. Which is right next to a large mirror. . . yet somehow that wall doesn’t seem crowded; well, no more crowded than any other wall in the house. Of course, the photo in the Keeping Room over the fireplace is also about that big.
There are locations where they work in the house, but they are remarkably few in number when compared to the many pieces of wall.
