Site Considerations
		The shutters cover the window in the dining room. The dining room is at the front of the house and adjoins the kitchen which occupies the back half of the house on one side of the main hallway. There is no wall separating the two rooms and this means that someone in the dining room has a view right through the house to the back garden.  The dining  room table is in the centre of the room so everyone sitting at the table has a view of the shutters. The lower edge of the shutters is about the same level as the table top which means that diners would  be looking up at an angle at the top panels and almost at a level with the lower panels. So the detailed work is mainly confined to the lower panels. The two outside upper panels are used to set the stage (literally) and the three centre panels are used to bring both sides of the work together in one picture of an evening sky. Evening time traditionally being a time of introspection and self-examination.
