Art through my eyes

We've recently had a muse in our studio and she has made me contemplate what is considered art these days. Is it a painting of a vast landscape? A finely chiseled sculpture donated to a university? Or only the abstract? Art is everywhere. It moves you when you see it, it makes you feel something unexpected and it continues to impress upon you long after it's gone. I see beauty in the simplest of things; how the morning light catches the icicles on my son's basketball hoop; the many aging barns on the backroads to Byron, IL; the beauty in a strong woman's form; a photo that captures an emotion only God knew was there.

I think tattoos are art.

Most importantly the connections we make while creating these images and combining these unique designs and ideas brings art to a higher level.
