I’ve always been an avid art consumer. Currently living in Washington DC and working in New York City there are countless opportunities to see amazing works by incredibly talented people. Artwork from all corners of the world and periods of time right outside the door. Sculptures, paintings, architecture, photography – it’s truly a gift. But if I had to pick a favorite artwork genre, it would have to be people. What acrylics or clay can compete with the intricately designed human mind and soul? So while I love staring at a painting, I love it so much more when I get to add a person to it. Thank you Micah (my little model.), for tromping through a museum and stepping into the artwork for me. You, darling, are a masterpiece.
I hope this weekend you enjoy the beauty around you. But even more so, I hope you appreciate the people who make living life beautiful.
