As we all know, :art\" and artist\" encompass more than paint and brush, and include artists of the written word. I believe your poem is general enough to praise artists of all ilks. It consist of 18 craft-fully chosen words spliced together to explain what \"art\" is. Loved it. - Phil A.

VERY TRUE UNCLE MICHAEL ~ In my case it would apply to Science which is both My Profession & My Passion !
SCIENCE is only created by SCIENTISTS (especially in the 21st century)
ALL SCIENTISTS are not CREATIVE !

In the past mAny things were discovered accidently Gravity ~ The Steam Engine ~ Mauve Dye ~ Polythene ~ Penicillin ~ Radioactivity ~ Stainless Steel ~ The Wheel etc etc. Today the breakthroughs are made by Teams of PhD\'s workin in LABS with millions of pounds of equipment ! Even PhD\'s can (occasionally) be creative. Thanks for Painting ~ very creative !

Blessings to YOU & YOURS

Oooh - what a picture - I wish I could take that broken down dwelling and make it into my country retreat - and as for your statement on art I really agree that not all artists have the gift of creating. A interesting posting my friend and thanks for sharing it.

Your image today reminds me of my own \'theme\' when i was a keen photographer. I would try to capture how nature gently re-took the ground which mankind abandons. I was often in derelict buildings with camera or in railway sidings.
Interesting last line from you today, i recall even a piss artist was able to leave quite creative channels across pavements in those late evenings of my younger days.

Very true Michael. We have had this discussion before and I think that we agree that art comes from within, as a lover of art, though not particularly knowledgeable, I like to be able to feel the artists presence within the artworks, as I do with yours.
Many art works are just wonderful copies of life that could have been taken by a camera, the artists are very skilled but is it art.
Equally I have seen photographs that look like a piece of art, art is so special that it must have an effect on the person looking at it.
This discussion goes on forever.

dusk arising said:

All through our working lives we looked forward to providing our minds and bodies with a weak-end after five days of pure joyous toil.
And now what do we have? Weak-ends for the rest of our days?
No way! i hear you say. These Saturdays are the days of harvest. Gathering in the richness of all life has reigned upon us.
What of Sundays I ask?
