However it brought to mind something that as a visual artist I have only been aware of in the last number years.Probably everyone knew this all the time as is mostly the case with a late bloomer's epiphany...that..an artist's interpretation of reality is much more and much better than actual visual reality because the artist unconsciouly adds all the emotional essence as well. Thus,this is the reason why painting is more important than photography ( although the same thing happens in good photography, but never to the same extent as painting because the photographic lens is capturing the real thing.)Rallentandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-36032806888640919092011-02-16T11:18:09.535+00:002011-02-16T11:18:09.535+00:00Kat

Thanks for taking the time.<br /><br /><b>MadameDeFarge</b><br />I agree - both about Vermeer and the possibilities of the subject. Thanks for the comment.<br /><br /><b>Gloria</b><br />Hi and welcome. Thanks so much for your feedback.<br /><br /><b>anthonynorth</b><br />absolutely. Much thanks.<br /><br /><b>Elizabeth</b><br />You are correct. Without trust is no revelation.<br /><br /><b>lightverse</b><br />I do hope you didn't end up sleep deprived as a result. Many thanks for your so generpous remarks. I felt very humbled by them.<br /><br /><b>Linda Sue</b><br />I think mine nearly did. Thanks for looking in.<br /><br /><b>Rose</b><br />Wow! Doubly humbled - but thanks so much.<br /><br /><b>Kat</b><br />I think there is a word for it, but it has long escaped me, I fear. I remember as a very small boy going into my Grandparents' bedroom where there were two full length mirrors facing each other. Of course, standing between them you got reflections of yourself almost to infinity - two sets! It used to set all kinds of thoughts racing in my mind. Thanks for your response, you've brought those mirrors back to min d and made me wonder if they had some influence below the conscious threshold.<br /><br /><b>Rachel</b><br />Good to have you visiting and good to have your comments. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>vivinfrance</b><br />Hi again. Thanks for your visit. Not for me, I don't think. There might be for you, though.<br /><br /><b>Hannah</b><br />Hi and welcome to the blog. Your comments are very much appreciated. I agree with you re the duplication and confusion.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-1623487987942767242011-02-15T03:53:16.889+00:002011-02-15T03:53:16.889+00:00Eek!

Guide magazine from when I was a child, wherein was photographed a scene of a room with a television set whereupon was another television set with the same scene and so on ad infinitum. Is there a word for this?
