Think of the contempt and aversion behind calling someone's art trite. In the formal critiques we hold at the college I teach, we often find the same piece inspires negative criticism in one and ecstasy in another. Sometimes the appreciate student practically starts speaking in tongues. (Or maybe I'm just too out of date to get half of what they said).<br /><br />Appreciating the beauty of a koi elegantly flowing in water is a juicy experience, and this painting captures that. Nothing trite about beauty, oneness, or flow!Tatiana Garmendiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455091130639002319noreply@blogger.com
