I made a video of what I see of how beauty can affect us in what we see around us in our daily life!
Dealing with nondescript paint areas
I reduced image exposure and contrast to get bare essentials of whats left in these two examples. Those traces of pattern that show up especially in foreground is what I feel needs to be absorbed to get the most out conveying the space when areas are hard to define. If bares bones B/W structure is traceable in a painting, your eye or paintbrush should be able to fill in the rest.
