Art & Soul.
It does seem strange; to get a scene to look like itself, I have to leave out a lot of it.
So what should I ruthlessly suppress? This one isn’t all that hard. You just keep experimenting until the drawing, painting, whatever, looks right. That is to say, until it looks right to me. This might be the point where the soul puts its oar in. After all, what looks like a good solution to a challenge is going to vary from person to person. Some quality in me, call it the soul or the brain or whatever you want, has to make the decision about the way my picture should look.
Hopefully some other people will agree with me about that, and even better, one of them might have some money burning a hole in their pocket.
