I was in a gallery trying to decide which painting to buy, the artist told me a story behind one of them and that was the one I bought. Every time I look at it I think of that story and I love the connection. Others may like the mystery of not knowing.Cindy Revellhttp://www.cindyrevell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490154568664556702.post-70532200148409906982012-05-31T07:04:28.001-07:002012-05-31T07:04:28.001-07:00This is a lovely painting, Cindy.

Perhaps I'm a bit lazy, but I don't often try to guess at meaning intended by the artist, nor do I even try to verbalize the feelings a painting evokes in me.

It is another way for the viewer to become engaged by a work of art.Terry Elrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007919980359276270noreply@blogger.com
