It is so good to read your honest contemplations about art. I struggle with perspective. Trying and failing. Yes, practice practice practice. Thank you for your honest words.

Thank you for writing Lida! Perspective is so easy to learn but oh so hard to put into practice! One thing that is helping me is creating from my imagination. While I still work with these tools when composing a piece I am observing, 'doodling' or trying them out in what ifs of scenes I create is really helpful!!

Thank you for discussion of perspective ... Learning to take distance into consideration is so important, as you point out, in the artist. It means being aware of how distance affects our the artist's perspective. The importance of being aware is the first step. Like wise in psychology it is so imporant to remember we all have our perspectives on an issue and it is so important to take others' perspectives when talking and working together.... Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I wish I could see as clearly as you've learned to see!
