Good morning. I just looked at my last entry and thought...heavens, who wants to look at someone's backside? How about something beautiful. I adore flowers. I love their individuality, fragility, colors and the way they are just there...in a garden or out in a field. It is hard to convince myself that they are so beautiful only for bees to be attracted to them...it is hard to think that they are not so endearing for the sole purpose of making me happy. How ego centered is that?
I am forever thankful that I am an artist and the visual world means so much to me. I can be stunned by a butterfly on a bush, textures of leaves on trees and shrubs...I can be so happy in my own head. I am always working on art. It 's not all good. I teach art too and tell my students that for every thing one keeps there are lots of things that get thrown away. But it's the process that can be so intoxicating. Look around I tell the kids. Beauty is right in front of you!
