Imagine this, given a board and a pencil, you were asked to draw a scenery in 3 mins. No restrictions on what to draw. What are the chances that your scenery will probably have trees, sun, birds, clouds..may be a house, a river and in case you feel rich you might go for a car. I'd say 100 percent. Earlier, I had never stopped to wonder why all my clouds have that same bubble like shapes and my house is always drawn with a slanting roof and the trees, what can I say...they always look like they are in their best years. The picture always looks like a quiet, serene place on a bright shiny day. Especially a smiling sun with evenly streaked rays. I find it intriguing. Such is mystery of our daunting lives. Even though this dream is far away from the reality, we always paint a pretty picture. It's funny isn't it.
In reality, the clouds don't have that perfect shape... the houses are smaller and the river is miles away... the birds have probably migrated and the leaves have fallen...you can't really look in the eye of the bright and shiny sun. You wonder... so what's the big idea. My point is that we are always inclined to draw something positive. Unless we aren't really twisted, we always strive to paint a pretty picture.

I wonder, if we made that way, no matter bad life gets or treats us, everyone is inclined towards that positive picture, which we always strive for.
Sometimes I wonder, some paintings are every abstract not so simple, but people strive the see the hidden meaning in it.......is there hidden meaning or is it that people rationalize the painting with what they experienced or far?????????????
I've visited art galleries showcasing abstract paintings and to tell you the truth I haven't matured enough to understand them. I think it's an artist's point of view, which is why it's a little hard to decipher...until it's explained. I think some people do rationalize with paintings which is why they would choose to buy that over the other. I would go for the most elegant colorful one. :p
