Female cardinals are often described as being a dull brown
color. I think they are in fact often, quietly or subtly beautiful. I think
some of the art I admire most is subtly beautiful as well. Don't get me wrong;
I love striking color in some art. However, if I think of the artists I have
long admired such as Winslow Homer, Vermeer, Bierstadt, Mary Cassatt, I think
of subtly beautiful work.I think that they have so ingeniously woven their skill into
the fabric of their art that they draw you in, fascinated by the image before
you, and only later do you appreciate the great skill that produced that
magnificent piece.I hope some
day to produce art like that....maybe in 2015?I hope that wherever you are, that you celebrate the end of
the old year and the beginning of the new one with the warmth of family and
friends and perhaps some quiet beauty.
