I've been learning over the years to like art. I think that I've always liked it, loved it even. I just know little about it, and feel underexposed to it. I don't even know what "good" art is. I think it's possible that you could show me a piece of expensive, high end art and something a young artist just made - I wouldn't know the difference.

But this is what I do know. I know that there are some things I see that still my breath. Sounds and sights that cause me not to move for a moment nor take my eyes or ears off of it, because I am drawn in. Sometimes I get teary eyed or have the tendency to get tingles all over. Other times I get inspired and want to create after witnessing such splendor. But I almost always get soft eyes that stare and a broad knowing smile across my face. It just does something to a person, this display of life.

So this piece was created by my cousin, Sandy. I can't get enough of it. I have yet to learn how she does it, something with light I believe. But right now I see feathering, brilliance and depth. And...my heart beats an extra beat when I see this one. I want to look at it more often, in my house, on my wall...somewhere. Look how it dresses up my blog page here! It's absolutely, irrefutably, gorgeous. I feel love and I think beauty when I see this one. It's a bit wild with a touch of exotic don't you think too? I want it to be a pin I put in my hair. Or have it take up a humongous portion of one of my walls at home. It's massive in color and just bursts. I am taken in friends, yes I am.

Show me some more.
