[MD] Painting

[MarshaV]

Greetings,

The first thing I learned when trying to draw or paint was how 
insidiously my mind would want to overlay what it thought it knew 
onto the seeing experience.  The mind thinks 'a tree is green', 
therefore a tree is seen and painted green.  In fact, a tree is green 
AND a multitude of non-green colors.  The mind distorts experience by 
overlaying previous patterns onto emerging patterns.  It's a constant 
struggle to wipe away what one thinks and see directly.
