Art is a wild and crazy thing

It is finally Post-Christmas. Not that I want Christmas to be over. I love Christmas. I love the reason we celebrate Christmas - the birth of Jesus Christ. I love the music, the lights, the happy thoughts, the kind things people do for each other. Christmas is Mahvalous! But it is also a busy time and it is nice to feel like there are other things one can get back to doing. The hustle to get things ready and done is over with and routine can be back. Routine is a good thing, as long as the routine is something one enjoys doing. And I LOVE ART. I love to paint. I love to observe artwork. I love taking photographs of sunsets and trees with snow on them. I love thinking of ways to portray a beautiful scene and how it will look on canvas.

I would also like to share art and beauty with other people. It is a lovely activity. This blog is one way to share art and lovely things. Sometimes it has to be intentional to "stop and smell the roses." Stop and observe with this poll question.

Poll Question: What is the quality of art that you enjoy in the artwork you like the best? Is it the color, the style, the movement of line and texture, the contrast of light and shadow? What other words can you connect with the art that you like?
