One of my earliest childhood memories is watching my older brother draw. He'd have a sketch pad and pencil all the time, and as he'd sit with his head slightly cocked to one side, desperately trying to figure out the angle or shading of an object off in the distance, unbeknownst to him, I was often sitting with my head cocked watching him with an envious curiosity. I'd wonder what he was seeing that I did not. I'd peek over his shoulder and think, "He's lost it. That is not going to work. He's shading in an area that is not related to the thing he's drawing. He's ruined it." But he never lost it and only occasionally did he ever ruin it.The world was a visual puzzle and he knew how to put it together in his own way. I was and am envious of that. Artists see the world in shapes and shadows and angles and depths and colors and details the rest of us cannot see and certainly cannot capture. But we can appreciate their artistry and embrace how much better our lives can be because of the art they create. How boring a world without the artists like my brother...and these artists featured in today's post: Better Living Through Artistry. Cock your head and enjoy.
