Planet Earth is a beautiful place. There are shapes and colors everywhere, and our eyes are made to appreciate them in their full richness of variety. The blue sky, the green grass, the brilliant sunshine, even the cloudy greyness - all form the magnificent array that is our world.
Those gifted people who can take the range of colors and shapes and arrange them on a canvas or a sculpture or a photograph have a rare and special talent. They allow us to experience places and emotions we otherwise would not have access to. We can see the world through someone else's eyes, and it is always revealing and interesting.
The world would be a lesser place without those creative geniuses who have brought us the beautiful artwork which adorns the walls of homes and offices and especially museums. Their rare talent enriches our lives and our senses. While it is not, in the utilitarian sense, strictly necessary to have artwork in the world, it makes for a higher quality of life than we would have without it.
As I sit in my living room this morning, I am grateful for the artwork which adorns my walls. It enhances my life experience, raises the quality of my morning, and provides me with food for the eyes and soul.
