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.
