Looks really familiar. I always found it sad when those who were confined, usually when they didn't have a choice, were forced to simply watch their world go by within a confined space. I'm in no way comparing those confined to state penitentiarys to those who were locked away in mental hospitals, but you do get a sense of what that must have been like...To be locked away for twenty three hours away without access to the outside world. Wow, boggles the mind.

The paint closer to the cielling is newer. The person that did the last paint job did not have a ladder.

Since I can't run off to see these places for myself, at least I can view these lovely shots from the (dis)comfort of my home. :)

I wonder what it was actually drawn with...
Or maybe it's not drawn conventionally and it's just discoloration of something else (oil or something) by time and light, making an old secret drawing visible.
