BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE...

You never know what you find at the entrance to someones house. This display of bones is artfully displayed at the entrance to the house of a friend of mine. He is a contractor and obviously has a keen eye for display. These bones are wrapped with wires, hanging from limbs of trees, and mounted in all sorts of different ways along with assorted metal bands. It's been awhile since I drove down the road toward Michael's house but this display seems to grow each time I see it. I love how it sets the stage for what you will find once you enter his property. It proves to me that you don't have to have a degree in art to be an artist.

INTERCONNECTEDNESS

This is something that I have recently started working on. It will be the under-painting for many more objects and details but you have to start someplace, right? I am calling it "Interconnectedness" at this moment.

I'm sure there are many of you out there who have seen Avatar. We have seen it twice; once on a regular screen and once on IMAX. I highly recommend it in 3-D or at the IMAX theater because it is that much better. There is a definite theme of interconnectedness going on in Avatar. I thought it was a really incredible movie. Am I the only one who cried during it? When you think of how everything in life is connected (like I have said before on this blog) it really makes you appreciate how your impact on this earth really matters. Everything you say, do, buy, think, feel is related to someone/something else on this big blue marble. Can one person make a difference? You bet! We have to start in our own backyards and hopefully what and who you come in contact will be positively impacted and will carry it forward.

DOWN THE ROAD A BIT
