That's What Artists Do
Sometimes I wonder how much of artistry is simply savoring the world around us. Maybe it's a rising harvest moon that captivates us enough to want to save the experience of seeing it. Or what if it's just our ego trying to see if we can actually create one for ourselves on a canvas? Perhaps in the act of creating something, or re-creating it, we experience it more deeply and fully. Whether it's a painting, story, song, or sculpture we labor over each tiny detail as we try to make it as perfect as possible. Of course, these projects become a part of us, but we may eventually send them out into the world to share with others. What will you savor today?
Book Excerpt
Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre
“It is pretty,” she agrees. “I’ve never seen your what’cha call it: la pampa. But I guess Illinois has prairies too. Whenever I see a full moon on the lake from our condo window, it makes me want to catch it.”
“I didn’t know your building was that tall, High-rise,” he teases.
Maxzyne bristles at the laughter in his voice. “It’s not, silly. I didn’t mean really catch it. I meant take a picture. Draw or paint it. Save it. That’s what artists do, y’know.”
