Why is this painter insane?

[NoMeansYes_]

Looking at phobialist.com I see this: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words.

What a joke. I'm guessing the insane guy has a fear of thinking or ideas

so if only one person has figured this out in 15yrs does that mean the answer is not available anywhere online we can just look it up?

only weird thing I can think of is that there is all this snow in the picture yet it is not actually snowing out. Probably doesnt really mean anything though.

Anything to do with the number 3? There are a lot of set of 3's - 3 sleds pulled by 3 horses, 3 women in the back of each sled, 3 kids around snowman, houses have 3 windows on each floor (not perfect here), man/woman/baby = 3.

The right side looks pretty similiar to the left side, only from a different angle.

I saw that too, and it works with the "look at the picture globally" advice

without reading anyone else's responses, I' going to say the person's phobia is agoraphobia, as the painting looks like a snow-globe - or, someone who is frightened of the outside and looks to enclose even a scene like this.

you're right, but what phobia could you describe by things on each side being similar?

is that 2nd picture a clue of some sort? Now I'm even more confused.

The horses and sleds are not casting any shadows.
