re: #129 ObserverArt
Most people want to see things as they are because that is what they see and accept. That is why I tell some people so hung up on things have to look real to buy a camera.
I went to a school district art exhibit the other night; one of the sad takeaways was the diminution of adventure and experiment as the kids got into higher grades, because the teachers tended to reward the most realistic renderings.
