The original painting has a title.
Most art is symbolic.

Your attitude is one of:
"I know all the answers, so I'm superior to you.
And I'll maintain that superiority by refusing to reveal them !"A lot of us left FECC because of that type of thinking...
Hi Colin,
I think it is difficult to explain something that has a lot of detail. Art, for instance, is very subjective and can be/is symbolic, people can see what they want; however, the artist also "made" what he/she could see, too. Sometimes art turns into something else because a mistake was made, art is something that is difficult to explain for the artist or one who is observing the art, it is also something that builds with experience (or not) as you learn or unlearn, as it is "art". lol.
Religion the same. Where do you start or finish? Placing both together, the turn of a hand in some type of artwork, the look of a smile, the pleading in the eyes, all can or may not mean anything, or, something in the artwork could be symbolic and there for someone who knows, but not for others, as it is art.
See? I am really trying to explain and it may not make sense, because of the subject. One of my good friends is an incredible artist and teaches art, and to speak with her, (one can mix in history, architecture, travel and religion, too) it could take month for one part of the subject, and still there is more, and more variances).
There isn't any meanness coming from anyone, anywhere, Colin, it is just an open book.
Hugs to all.
This is one of my friend's drawings. I can see her husband's jawline, who knows what this means, I must ask, although first think about what I think it is.
Buxom woman because my friend's husband may have liked that? Or buxom, just because it is a nice line?
Have I scratched the surface? Nope.
