Ideas often appear as effortless images even if they cannot be transformed into any shape in this world. Once, as I lay barely awake, I imagined a tree with countless branches that shot into infinity. I have to admit that it was impossible to follow the idea to the end, even though the image in my mind was absolutely clear. You simply cannot turn a flawless image like that into reality, and paintings are not imaginary.
At the other end of vision, when I use my eyes in almost complete darkness, even the poorest verities may disappear as the grainy world becomes covered in a veil of light within retina. People do not regard it as a disability that they cannot see in the dark or that colours disappear in poor lighting. The deficiencies in the eye are considered to be aspects of reality. Therefore, reality seems to be presented in pictures even though they are actually formed in our imagination.
