I used to believe that pictures, especially huge portraits of people, would rest when no one was looking or when they thought no one was looking. So you can imagine how afraid I was when I visited an art museum and we took a tour of the place. I just knew I would happen to see one of the people change positions out of the corner of my eye when we walked past.
