As a general rule people expect a photograph to be reasonably representative of reality. A photograph of a flower (within reason) will always have green leaves. Even B&W photographs will follow the same line of visualreality.A painting, on the other hand is acknowledged as a purely interpretive attempt at the reality of the artist. Since THAT reality does not necessarily exist outside the realm of the artists imagination, the same rules of perceptive expectations does not apply.Or something like that!  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
