Thought of the week :: Art teaches us not just to look at the world but to take the time to actually see...

And once we start to see our entire perspective changes and our lives fill with wonder.  From the sparrow perched atop a traffic sign on the way to work to the poppies along the roadside.

And with my printed work to help other people to look at something as simple as a flower with awe, to begin to see it, and the world, as I do...

And judging by the amount of work I sold at a festival in its very first year, I think its just beginning...  Now if I can only find a balance between my new job and my art things will be better.  Because the lack of sleep caused by starting the new job the week before my first show can't be maintained.  :-)
