I’m attempting to force myself to write in my blog every day. I’ve gotten SO BAD at keeping up these past several years and someday I’ll be dead and then what?
I’ll be gone but hopefully not forgotten. (Feel free to use these prompts for your own writing).
Today’s prompt(s):
What is your favorite work of art? What do you love about it?
I’m not really into art. I appreciate art, but it’s not something I seek out or take an interest in.
The art that really captures my attention, are landscapes, or moments in time, or beauty, like a vase of flowers, something that evokes an emotion in me.
Which I get is the objective of art as a whole.
But something recognizable, a person, a place, something tangible and beautiful.
I can’t STAND abstract art. To me, it looks like something a child drew and it’s chaotic and mindless. No thanks.
I love the art of words. Or the art of photography. Or the art of creating something unique and different with your own hands.
For example, I love my aunt/uncle’s Etsy shop. I love the art he creates using steel. He’s a welder by trade and he figured how to utilize his unique gifts to offer something beautiful to people.
And my mom’s crafts. She’s been making beautiful things all her life.
The only “art” I feel I have is writing, and that might be debatable with some people.
My husband’s art is finding old/broken things and turning them into something functional and/or decorative. Kevin also painted this:
THIS, to me, is beauty.
This is also my favorite piece of art we have in our home:
