Learned a new phrase, Slow Looking: Looking at something with "Attention" and 'Intention''. Thoroughly looking without rushing to an interpretation.

Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.

Is that the same thing as "observation" I wonder?

I've been surprised by how many people just don't look properly. It's particularly noticeable in a beginner's art class. Drawing things that can't be seen, like a table leg, invisible because of the perspective, for example. [Very Impressionistic] Perhaps it's a skill that needs to be taught. I expect it was built in to our hunter gatherer ancestors!

You'll find me in my office. I'll probably be drinking. And reading this tiny ad.
