While painting this I got to thinking about Robert Frost's poem MENDING WALL that contains the phrase, "good fences make good neighbors". In the poem Frost is pondering whether that old proverb is indeed true and wondering what good it does to rebuild the stone wall between he and his neighbor every year.
While searching for an attractive version of the poem on line, I found this article about how, in fact, good fences do actually make people more comfortable with their differences. Very interesting.
