Paintings, like people, are best viewed from a distance. Because as soon as you come closer, you begin noticing the raw paint showing up the scratches on the canvas.
When you come closer to the painting and stare at it's paint cracks, it's scratches, only then can you gauge it's age. Only then can you weave the story of the painter. What might have gone through her mind while she was painting this masterpiece. Only then can you truly understand?
