Notes from the Deckle Edge

Should the artist's intent really matter when viewing a piece of artwork?  I think it can be interesting.  I am usually intrigued by the information provided.  Perhaps understanding the artist's vision throws the painting in a whole new light.  A glimpse of a time frame I didn't experience perhaps, or a personal glimpse into their life.  I usually look for symbolism, because I use it myself.  Techniques can draw me closer.   Composition, repetitions, I really enjoy figuring it all out.  Sometimes I am quite surprised by their revelations.  But in the end, does it matter to the viewer? Ultimately, what the viewer brings to the painting is all that matters.  

Today I am continuing to work on this painting.  It is a reflection, but it is the reflection that is the subject of the piece.  I know it has happened to me.  Maybe to you as well.  Great light today.  Back to my brushes.  

"The thing I hate about an argument is that it always interrupts a discussion."   - G. K. Chesterton
