Art

Art is the best therapy.

let the creative

right brain

speak with a brush.

Art is a time

to get away

from the pain.

I paint away

and hope

that tomorrow

will be better.

 

Feeling stressed? Give yourself the gift of creating art.  Part of my motto for 2012 is “Create Beauty.”  I do it with words, not paint, but I think it is pretty much the same thing.

Sandscapes

When Florida’s coastal winds blow—
soft coquina red sands
mix in with harder-packed white sands—
creating wind-blown sandscapes,
a continuous miles-long modern-art painting.

Swirls, dabs, strokes of red crushed coquina,

undulating patterns of white sands,
creating dreamy vistas, surreal scenes.

Nature’s own beach-bound art work.

You can see these sandscapes on Volusia County beaches when the winds blow from the northeast as they do in the fall.

Thoughts on Art

There are many ways to appreciate art.

Thoughts on Art

Art is a connection powered by thought.

Art is deep consideration of an artist’s message.
Art is the recovery of a memory.
Art is the joy of discovery.
Art is the quiet thrill of contemplation.
Art is an escape from our everyday lives.

Delve deep into the significance of art.

There are no easy answers as to what art means.

Art challenges perceptions.
Art illuminates. Art provides beauty.
Art is on a higher plane than the common lives of humanity.
Art fills a need for transcendence.
Art has an aspirational quality.

Art is all about the human condition.

When asked to define poetry, I sometimes say, “It is poetry if you say it is poetry.”  The same could apply to art.  It is art if you say it is art.  It is very personal.
