7) Intimacy
A humble painter who becomes inspired to capture the liveliness of a street scene is warned, “Be sure to not crop too tightly! Your canvas is only so large and the larger the scale of your objects, the smaller the scope of the scene. Totality is your aim. You will never know what your audience will interpret outside the scene in which you have captured—the thought is far too frightening to imagine. We warn you, do not crop too tightly!”
The painter is weary. Intimacy and details may be sacrificed. He likes to imagine scope, while confrontation with it scares him.
