What Makes a Painting ‘Timeless’ or ‘Fleeting’?

A painting can be timeless or fleeting, depending on how it makes people feel. Imagine a painting you see every day, like your favorite picture in the classroom, it feels special and lasts with you forever. But if a painting is just something you pass by once, like a poster on a bus, you might forget all about it after a few days. Timeless paintings stick with us, while fleeting ones are here today, gone tomorrow.
