I don't think it is the point to know what the artist was feeling. The point is how it makes the observer feel and how it speaks to others. If it does, go buy the painting, if not, don't. I feel the same way about music. I really don't want to know why a songwriter was writing a certain song and what he was trying to express, I just care what I read into it and how it touches me. Everything else could only be a disappointment (or at least often is).
