All is One. There are no barriers, no limits, no horizons that we do not create ourselves. Or make invisible by ourselves in the pursuit of beauty and art. The greatest miracle of our brain is that we can find beauty when we need it most and seldom fails to find the way to "there".
I believe that in Nature, art is happening and displayed all the time. But we as artists, capture Nature, and create ART..we paint a flower, photograph a sunset, we sculpt, quilt, carve, write, sing, cook with nature. It all starts with Nature. Observe the color wheel. Observe the petals of a flower. Observe the dense colors of a sunrise or sunset. Observe nature.
They all remind me of Dr Suess characters...wonderful!

Sometimes things aren't what they seem. We settle in somewhere, thinking it's going to be safe and hospitable and just what we hoped for, a magical haven that provides us shelter from harm. Then reality sets in and we realize that we were mistaken. That soft place to land turns out to be quite a bit less soft than we'd anticipated. In fact sometimes things get downright hard and cold and unforgiving. Not at all what we expected. Do we stay and make the best of it or fly away to build a new nest somewhere else? Sometimes the most valuable lessons come from learning to see the beauty right in front of your eyes. Sometimes we bloom most gloriously when we learn to thrive just where we are and come to love just what we have. Maybe each of us is exactly where we need to be, learning lessons custom-made for us.
Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.

Observe the color wheel.

Observe nature.
Then, and only then will ART take place.
