Studying Art


I noticed this woman in other galleries, looking carefully at the art and she was studying each piece far more than most people, and she was taking notes as well.  I saw her several times, and then when I walked into this gallery, she was seated on the bench, looking at a painting and taking a lot of notes.  Then the young girl came in and sat on the other end of the bench and I thought it made some kind of photograph, so I used my phone and surreptitiously took two photographs, without being noticed. Now that I am thinking back on all this, I think I should have walked up to her and asked about all her studying and her note taking.  I am sorry that I didn't.  That is unlike me.

I am a little surprised you did not ask her, but her level of concentration is so strong and intense, I would not wanted to interrupt her.

I would have wanted to ask her questions; however, I don’t know if I would have interrupted her…

Thank you for those comments. Perhaps it was her concentration that kept me from interrupting her. Your comments are illuminating and a help..
