Not seeing at all

Many people that come into a gallery and don't see the first painting on the wall and have no idea what their eyes just drifted over. I'm sure this carries over into their daily life concerning observation. However, there are those few who come into the gallery and get absorbed into the work and see things with the same interest as the artist sees them. Those few keep the blood in an artists veins from clogging up while the other group can soon make an artist wonder why he or she is bothering at all.
