There are great creations in the arts which never leave me. I can name many but will mention two: Mona Lisa and the Rach 3. I’ve sat and gazed at dear Mona since I was 7 years old. Each time totally absorbed seeing her magic aura. Same with Rachmaninoff piano Concerto No. 3; Vladimir Horowitz on piano. I blissfully listened to it for over half a century. I realize I should be discussing visual art, but bringing forth music further illuminates how our needy minds are endless in the arts.
So important are works by today’s brilliant artists that have captured me each time I looked at them; masterworks driven by remarkable talents with abilities to create art both personal and original. Your art can have that.
Humans in Arts
Like all humans, I get anxious and concerned with certain things awaiting me. Well, all those nerve-end moments disappear the minute I begin a dozen creative pastel strokes; walk into the class like a family gathering, and lay in my first “can’t wait” sentence for the article. What happens? Well, I’m going into the world I totally love and dumping unwelcome concerns.
