One can definitely feel the switch in the brain to using the right-hand side of the brain from the left side when creating art. This scientist turned artist feels the switch going back and forth all the time. My brain uses both sides when creating art, especially when creating trompe l'oeil paintings.

"If someone thinks it looks real, it is a still life, if they think it is real, it is a trompe l'oeil"

The art of deception is created by painting various items in such a way as to give the illusion that the three-dimensional items actually exist. If viewers feel compelled to touch the paintings to see if the items are real, then I feel like I have accomplished my goal.
