<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GaleriaGila, post: 111909, member: 993&quot;]I&#039;d like to repeat Brad&#039;s closing remark to the previous pair, along with my reaction there.</p><p><i><b>Thanks, Brad... this comment of yours will particularly stick with me...</b></i></p><p><i><b>&quot;...comments here seem to suggest that it tends to elicit feelings at polar opposites. This may be better than a painting that is pleasant but doesn&#039;t elicit any strong feelings.&quot; You helped me clarify a thought: a wonderfully-done painting may not be memorable/enjoyable. A painting with flaws may be very memorable/enjoyable. </b></i></p><p>Point in fact. Both will appeal to some people.&nbsp; People-pleasing Polyannas like me can find stuff to like and compliment, but...</p><p>Neither, for me, is memorable or meaningful.</p><p>Unless I know the artist is reading this, and then I like it much more!</p><p>SERIOUSLY... because then it would have meaning.</p><p>Yes, this is really how my mind works.</p><p>Great thread, Brad![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
