flowing like a river
always moving
always changing
allowing all things
to be a
part of me
like the beautiful yellow warbler
its song
flows through me
is a
part of me
the raven, the chipmunk
The red fox
Are a part of me
flowing

“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things but their inward significance."
Aristotle
Featured image: And He Walks with Me
solitude of nature
Soothe my soul
unchained
the cage door is open
I live ……. unchained
free
I find Him there
I hear Him there
in
the woods
for the woods are
filled
with eternal
power and His
pulse
Featured image: Coffee in the Rain
Soaking up
raindrops
allowing the energy
of the rain
Immerse my
Soul
I take a deep breath

"The painting must be fertile. It has to give birth to a world… yours and mine… It doesn’t matter if you see a flower, figures, or horses, as long as it reveals a world—something living." – Miro
When I read this quote, I thought, "This is the foundation of what many people, including art teachers, often say: Art can be anything you want." However, Miro defines his understanding of art when he states, "Art must be fertile."
Miro uses organic, biomorphic forms that reflect his fascination with the natural world, celebrating growth and transformation in dynamic, interlocking arrangements."
