I love paintings that evoke what it must have been like when the world was wild; when you were really, impossibly removed from other humans. When wolves howled, and nature - and not your own stupidity - was your greatest danger.
I'm glad that I do not live back then, but it's nice to think about from the comfort of my heated, air-conditioned home.
Definitely, have you ever read any Jack London?
No, I can't say that I have. I could look him up and fomd out for myself, bur in the interest of conversation... what does he write? Historical fiction?
Yes historical fiction set in the Pacific Northwest in the 1800s. white Fang, Call of The Wild etc
Oh! I read Call of the Wild, jesus, back in high school, I think. It may not have been my cuppa, since I didn't look for more work by the author, but tastes change. I'll have to check that out.
