Sharon if I didn't know better, I'd think you were trying to provoke me. :-)
Thomasin, I think you and are are coming from very different artistic sensibilities. I sincerely do not understand the point you are trying to make. The painting you show (I assume it's a Cezanne) as an example, is it supposed to be spatial or flat? When I talk about illusionistic painting I'm talking about something akin to remarks made about a Rembrandt painting, "It looks like you could pick up the painting by grabbing the nose."
Enzie, as you know, I'm so proud of the great progress you are making. Dream the dream!
As Michaelangelo said, "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it." Yogi Berra said, "You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."
