OTHER PICTURE IN HER ROOM

ok while everyone seems to be focusing on the picture by the candles, no one has mentioned the picture on the back wall (it was next to the napoleon dynamite poster in one episode)

theres even one video when you get a closer look at it because the camera is on the bed and it is of two people, in white pointy hooded robes of some sort. they seem to be outside at night. before i read about the whole crowley theory i just want to say that i thought she might have been part of the KKK or something. or some other type of cult that wears white robes like that.

do thelemites wear those robes?

It is the painting Second Story Sunlight by Edward Hopper - http://www.artcyclopedia.com/masterscans/l38.html

From the commentary on that link:

"It's typical of Hopper to treat even a scene of a young girl sunbathing in a stark and joyless manner. Even though they are sharing the day together, the differences in age, dress and activity between the two women suggest a disconnection between them."

What do you think that signifies?

Edward Hopper was best remembered for his eerily realistic depictions of solitude in contemporary American life. I believe it is just for atmosphere

Yeah... that's what I got from it also. I didn't know if you were picking up something else.

I read somewhere that in one of the videos the pic was at first a picture of Satan before it became Crowley...I really need to find that..regarding the picture by the candles...as for the back wall...I need to look at that too...

I think this other pic needs to be dicussed more. I doubt it was put there by accident.

One thing I was pondering was this: the painting is titled Second Story Sunlight by Edward Hooper. I'm imagining Bree's bedroom is on the second story. Could she represent sunlight? I was playing around with the idea of Order of the Golden Dawn as her religion... sunlight... dawn... but from what I've read it seems that Golden Dawn is more about magic/mysticism than religion.

Any thoughts?

Maybe. But if I learned anything in college as an English major, it was that writers don't just put things in their works for the hell of it. The same likely applies here. The Crowley pic had enormous significance. Why wouldn't the other painting, which is even more in the view of the camera?

Well, Bree's room is on the second story, and (before the reveal) her remarkably flattering lighting was supposed to have been from sunlight streaming in from the big window in her room. Maybe it was just a little joke.

I just thought it had something to do with solitude or loneliness. There was another thread about that...somewhere. It's so hard to keep track of the threads on here.
