Here in this virtual gallery, one can call up a particular work with a simple click and encounter paint-tings at a size that encourages one to look more, look beyond, to study, to gaze and of course to ponder that simple statement of unabashed creativity that lays before him or her without hassle or interruption.
Today it is copy this and copy that. Print this out and take that. But here the opportunity suggests something different, something like a good conversation with an old friend, a simple enjoyable time of people who love to be together, a moment of hearing oneself breathe, or a taste of something that demands time to savor and enjoy.
Today we are so afraid of being sold or cheated, we forget the obtaining of something that transcends money. We spend thousands on coffee, millions on filling garages, and an inordinate amount for the sake of trying to fix something that’s totally broken, worn out or unrecoverable.
We forget that maybe, just maybe something beautiful, something magical, something mythical, something created with human hands and human minds can add to our lives. It is not only our lives, it is the core of our lives, our health, our emotional well being, our positive hopeful outlook. It takes us to a place of truth, a place of retreat, safety, a place where one can spend a moment and see beyond themselves.
We forget that we can find this in a simple purchase or acquisition that allows us ownership of all these things and a place to visit and be reminded everyday that life is a gift from the one who created it all.
