It has happened to me before.

I'll bet that if I showed up at Jim’s house, I'd be disappointed . . . hear me out . . . I'd look around and think, "this is all just ordinary furniture and plants in ordinary light! Where is all the beauty I see in his paintings?" LOL

But it's like he swept up all the dust of beauty from the objects in his life and poured it so sweetly onto canvas -such that the ordinary world we see and walk around in is functional, interesting and lacks imagination . . . but our imaginations turn to focus like a lens on those rectangles we call the art of Jim McVickers. https://www.jimmcvickerpaints.com
