Perspective is necessary.  It allows one the luxury of effectively flattening out the landscape in art while retaining depth of experience, or of creating such a vividly real, deeply tangible image that viewers cannot believe its actually painted on canvas.  Perspective can level the playing field in life while retaining a clear vision of reality; it can allow you to reach heights in your career which once seemed unattainable.

Without knowing how to achieve perspective in art, the artist is missing tools critical to attaining mastery of medium.  The same is true in living and working.  For an artist, the use and application of perspective in both areas are needed for success.

Lack of knowledge, practice, and skill contribute to the failure in rendering a work on one’s canvas.  In life, the same is true.  But in life, more destructive to perspective is a thing called FRENZY.  You simply can’t maintain objectivity and, therefore, perspective if you are racing around and failing to perceive your surroundings and interactive environment. 

Sit back, slow down, and pay attention only to those things which are truly important to your goals in art and in life.
