It's always so interesting to me how large paintings look in my studio compared to how small they look when hung on big walls in a gallery or business. I love it when I intuitively know something and then learn it's backed up by science. Recently I read: A study conducted at the at the Mauitshuis Museum in the Netherlands found that viewing real artworks, Like Johannes Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring', stimulates the brain significantly more than looking at posters of THE SAME ARTWORK, with participants experiencing an emotional response up to ten times stronger when viewing the original piece....!!!!!! WOW!!!!!
