For the Love of Art

Art is creation; the sight of snow laying atop a beautiful mountain. The grand sounds of an ocean wave.

Art is Athens, Greece; Eiffel tower in Paris, France. The sound of Ray Charles's "Georgia on my mind" or Celia Cruz's "Azucar" , Homer's Odyssey and the Bible.

Art is not only paintings on a wall. It is also something great and unpredictable like: Watching my children sit, craw, stand, walk and finally run! Watching my 12 year old son master the sound of a trumpet or even the scribble scrabble hanging from my refrigerator; artist best know as my 2 year old.

Art is also represented in a movie like "The Notebook", simple but full of emotion and the reality of life and love. "I am Sam" a compelling story of a mentally challenged man raising his daughter. How about a silly, senseless movie like "Dumb and Dumber", with Jim Carey; art there would be found in the expression on my husbands face as he watches the stupid things that characters did.

To me Art is in everything. Perhaps because I believe in a Creator of All things. The master artist of this world and human kind.

Art is perfect in every form. We are art; from the smallest cell in our body, to the perfect shape of the breast and the power of the mind. We are an expression of living piece of art in the way we dress, brush our hair, the make up on our face, the way we walk and even the way we speak. We are walking, living and breathing Art.

In essence Art is "the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance." ( Dictionary.com)
