Tempering art

Tempering art

The plan is to present observations and insights from life that allude to an above presence.  The art visually stimulates this quest for realization.  It is more than illustration, it is art. But it is not a culmination in and of itself.  It is part of a bigger whole rather than standing apart saying 'look at me.'

However, art has its own rules.  Having difficulty with my last drawing raises new concerns, a call for revamping old ways and a new intensity.  Time and energy are required.  It almost feels like an attempt to have me fully worried and obsessed , demanding more than is appropriate and becoming all consuming.  I want to keep the art under control and manageable.  Art can't selfishly exist for itself.  It has to be part of a bigger picture and fit in. This is not art for art's sake, art for greatness' sake, or even art for beauty's sake.  How about this is art for making a contribution's sake.

Your addition of an “S” in your http(s) may be what is messing you up. I got there where I took the s out. Merry Christmas, Dianna...I enjoy your stuff very much.

Well that was a quick add on as an afterthought..so no, but this is better....



Steve, I don’t know how I ended up connected to you or your site but every time I click on one of your emails, I come away feeling rejuvenated by the uncluttered thoughts you share with us. Life bustles around us any this is my treat, like a day at the spa. Thanks so much for sharing.
