There is something magic about beauty that calms the mind and soul. One would think that we should have no shortage of beauty in art these days. If one is to believe the prophets of doom and apocalypse (also known as the nightly newscast), society teeters upon the brink of total collapse. As a respite from this countdown to the apocalypse shouldn’t we be creating beautiful things as an antidote to the dreadful things that enter into our homes via television?
I continue to think the beauty that surrounds us is being shortchanged because we are so fixated on seeing what is wrong, we don’t give beauty the time it deserves.
I don’t think there can be a shortage of images of beauty that calm us, make us stop and appreciate the world around us. Find something beautiful and create some art from that beautiful moment.
