Sunday Scribblings #149 - Art

The prompt for this week is: Art. For such a little word, it holds a lot of energy and even some controversy! What do you make of art?

To me, art is a magical and creative outlet to let my personality shine through. Although I don't consider myself artistic, I do appreciate art.

Art can be a painting, a drawing or a doodle. I know boo-coos about doodles because I'm an expert doodler - I doodle during meetings, I doodle when I'm on the phone, I doodle when I'm talking to friends. Most people don't consider doodling an art form, but I think art is in the eye of the beholder.

Art can also be an emotion-inspiring quote or story or letter. Words are extremely powerful and artistic in composition. I love to write and I try to create pictures, feelings or emotions every time I put pen to paper. Again, this may not be art to some people, but it feels like art to me.

Art is also present in crafts, knittings or articles sewn. It can be quilts or clothing or furniture coverings. Needlework has long held a place of honor in the artistic communities.

Of course, my favorite form of art is often created by Mother Nature - a perfectly blooming rose, a fragrant sprig of lavender, the rough peeling bark of a tree. Last week, the devastating ice storm that left Kentucky a disaster zone, also brought beautiful ice coated landscapes and scenery.
