Sometimes honesty can be mistaken for kindness. I like expressing how I see art, especially when it is sincere and real. Many times the artist can be compelled to see something they did in their artwork that is impactful, meaningful to the viewers. We tend to be too close to our art to see it with fresh eyes. It’s not kindness, it’s appreciation and encouragement.
