A Two Sentence Lesson About How to Enjoy Art

Here it is:

At least once a day interrupt the usual mulling over of the details of your life and ask yourself "Of what is in front of me now, what is the thing my eyes most enjoy seeing." Then spend a focused moment enjoying it.

That's it. Here below is something I stopped to enjoy-



Philip Koch, White Thicket II, oil on canvas, 28 x 42 inches,
currently in Courthouse Gallery Fine Art's show of my work
running through July 21, 2017 in Ellsworth, Maine.

So much of what is said or written about art (including by me) tends toward long-windedness. We can trip over all the words. It's good to boil it all down to just what's essential.
