Art. Life is art. Everywhere you look. Everything you touch. Color, texture, shadows and even darkness. When a mother lets her daughter go wild in paint&#8230;.and the mess to clean up is never even a second thought. Because the things that are more important to her are priceless in raising a child&#8230;.. creativity, gratification, self image and that smile that comes along after all the work you have done. It is often said of art&#8230;.&#8221;It is the process, NOT the product.&#8221; When you get old like me (LOL)&#8230;you can look back on some important strides in your life&#8230;I remember teachers in high school&#8230;that encouraged me&#8230;..My creative writing teacher: &#8221; write everything that touches your emotions on a piece of paper&#8221; Mrs Lauris my art teacher said&#8230;.&#8221;paint outside the lines&#8230;never say never&#8230;.don&#8217;t ever be afraid to get dirty&#8221;&#8230;.and these are the things that make all the difference&#8230;.if you think that Nicole is a bad mother for letting Madison paint in her room&#8230;..if you think that Gary is insane for climbing on his roof to take photos of sunsets&#8230;if you think you can paint a better wall with a roller then Ann can with her sponge&#8230;.then you don&#8217;t know what art is. I read once where in a childs life&#8230;.the first three years are the most important&#8230;during this time a child learns traits in learning, attitude and self esteem&#8230;..art can greatly contribute to a childs development. Check out all of Madisons photos on the art page in THINGSl. Gary has some more stunning sunsets to see&#8230;..each one an original inspiring work of art by Gods hands, He loves to color outside the lines&#8230;.Also some old needlepoint by Barbara is on her page&#8230;..another Glenn Did It is up! &#8230;&#8230;.old art&#8230;&#8230;.new art&#8230;&#8230;Gods art&#8230;..photos&#8230;.music&#8230;..envelope art&#8230;.show us what you got.
