WHY DOES ART FIT OLDER ONE?

If someone asks if the art fit old one or young one, there will be no clear cut answer. It is because anyone may enjoy the art actively. Nevertheless, it appears that the art will be more friendly to old person than young one. Why? I guess that old one would have a possibility of accummulate more knowledge and direct experience, etc. and have more flexibility to see the world. Here, we should make it clear that my allegation is not based on the age discrimination. I would like to emphasize that anyone may enjoy an artistic activities regardless of age, etc. Further, if some one spend more time in experience a varity of challenges, it may be good resources for artistic activities.

The most popular example will be Anna Mary Robertson Moses. She started a painting at her 76 ages. She left 1,600 paintings, including 25 paintings done at her age of 100 or more. 

Her painting is very peaeful, bright, soft and friendly in general which appears to reflect her life and her feeling when she really enjoy her painting works. It will be imagined in our mind through her overall painings that she is so happy at the moment she draws paintings.

Further, she reminds us that when it appears to be too late, in fact, that time will be the best time to start.

It is true that a painting will relect all the life of a painter!
