The art of looking @ pictures: we have the choice - either to be spoon fed, or stimulate & strengthen our creative imagination by training the visionary senses to observe & interpret what's beyond the surface of a picture? The important role & aim of the artist is to encourage visual literacy! "Hyperrealism is both Breathtaking, and Boring. I want to see the Artist's hand in the work of art. I want to see the essence and the spirit of the subject, and I want to see a celebration of the Medium in the work of art." - Janet Badger)

"Art has no intellectual ownership. It's there to share."

Fun aspect of art - more recent accidental art on paper to stretch the imagination. I'm enjoying the unpretentious spontaneity of the process. We are living in a world of visuals. We are spoon fed & it's decided for us what to see with little choice left for the imagination. These works of accidental art, are in reaction to this visual trend. A break from tradition.🙃.
