About the Book

If you are looking at a painting with the same mind-set that you have when you look out of your window, you are probably missing the Art.

Do you know what it means to empathize with form? You probably do it all the time with music. It's what you are doing when you are tapping your foot to the rhythm. All Art Forms communicate this way, through form. It is something that is easy to miss if you aren't looking for it.

In appreciating Fine Art, we admire the genius of the artists who can communicate this way. I wrote this little book just to point this out. It's something that is good to know, especially if you are thinking about 'doing some art' yourself.
