750. art - sunshine for the brain

paint on a canvas
just schmushed and smeared onto it
“it’s all in your head!!” 🦊❤️

I was looking at paintings at a local museum yesterday.  I got up very, very close and simply focused on how the paint was applied to the canvas in very small areas. After doing so for awhile it allowed me to see how much of what I see in a painting is the result of my brain filling in the gaps so I can perceive what the artist intended me to see. I think that looking at art is good “exercise” for the brain… and sunshine too! 🦊❤️
