A suggestion can be enough for us to fill in the details - but are they correct?
Once I painted on the black lines, I couldn't help but see a bird on this page. So I filled in the detail by putting an eye on it.
How often do we have half a story that looks a particular way to us, and then we fill in the details to make our idea more solid? This is how rumours and gossip start. We don't have the whole story, but we don't let it stop us from passing on the information. Others then put their own details on to it and before you know it, a blob has become a bird and taken flight.
In art, letting our minds fill in the details - using our imagination - is good. But in life, holding back until we know the full picture is more caring.
