What do you feel when you look at a painting ?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:It depends on the painting. Some paintings make me silently question “Why is this even here ..how is that art?” Others will have me gazing at them for longer ..taking in the different strokes, colours, shapes, etc that the artist used. It is not often that I am overwhelmed with feeling by a painting. If a painting moves me, it becomes a personal connection for me that I treasure. The feeling is usually of a deeper familiarity ..a calmness. Sometimes a bit of whimsy and/or fascination as well.
