Carlson seems to imply that for each setting there is a "right" mindset to have and way to view the landscape/ flower/ summer afternoon. Is this true? Or is it possible that there are multiple "right" ways to view a natural environment? Or is there no "right" way and perhaps only shades of appreciation?
I would have to agree with the ideas of the shades of appreciation on this one. The natural environment is the natural environment, there is no correct way to observe it. Yes, there are many ways to try and appreciate it for all its perceived, however that too is all personal and entirely based on the person. Even those who don't see beauty in the natural environment may indeed not know much about it, or they just don't care for it, either way it is a valid viewpoint that they are allowed to have. There simply can be no artistic definition of the natural environment, it's there despite us and will be there if we are not. It is not for our artistic approval.
