An artist not only captures the forms of nature, the artists spirit interacts with the spirit of the animals or men he is painting. His painting captures both the spirit and the message of its subject. One can see it in the expression, the eyes, and the gestalt of the painting. All good paintings as Van Gogh paintings communicate an emotion or message to the observer. It might be a message of love, harmony or tranquility; or it might be a message of danger, fury, or sadness. It could be a lesson, or something that all of us as humans can identify with, such as a desire to be loved.

The painting as Klimt The Kiss served ancient peoples as a medium to purify and refine the human spirit. The well studied and observant artist through his own meditation gives life to the animated states, feelings, and spiritual essence of the animals and humans he paints. The purification or refinement of the observers spirit occurs through the inspired artists ability to communicate the subjects (man or animal): spirit, animation, feelings, thoughts, and the scene or stage of the subject, with all of its colors and form of oil paintings art.
