Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

Okay, I may be stalking the blogs obsessively...But it must be known how much your vulnerability is appreciated. I remember when you show this to me (this artwork). It's also a reminder to stop editing ourselves *guilty as charged* May the hiding end, for all!

Nice picture love the artwork... as always. Thats something that you should not hold back on....let it loose...pursue it. Eat your heart out Minny.....snow in Mississippi tonight...For some reason I don' see "you guys" being jealous of the snow we are going to get tonite. I need a "how to book" on driving in snow.

The complete beauty of your incredible heart and longing soul shines through with these entries, Benton. As for the art, I believe it was Rex Harrison who also said it best: "There’s always a struggle, a striving for something bigger than yourself in all forms of art. And even if you didn’t achieve greatness — even if you fail, which we all must — everything you do in your work is somehow connected with your attitude toward life, your deepest secret feelings."

Bravo, my friend! Thanks for sharing your blog site with me.

I love that saying, it is absolutely true, it is possible to embrace art but also to get lost in it.
