The Gift of the heART - February 14th
“Art is a form of love. Art is the ultimate gift…
-Robert Genn
Often the goal of an artist with their art is to share or express to others how they see the world, an object, a thought, a feeling. Its no different than the emotion of love….to share the joy, the grace, the wonder of the world we live in with others. It can be warped or distorted by anger, hate or fear. It can bring happiness and inspiration and sometimes when taken leaves a void that may never be filled. A piece of art is a sharing of a piece of you.
The gift of Art is the gift of the Heart. Its the sharing of not just what the artist wanted to leave to the world but also what the person who gifts a piece of art wants to share of their interests, their feelings, or what moves them. Even more it can be a way to say to the person receiving the gift…I see what brings you joy or moves you…”I see you”. No different than a favoirte song, a favorite book, a favorite movie its part of the small pieces and building blocks that make you who you are. Instead of candy or flowers a gift of art can last a lifetime and be a gift of love, a gift of your heart. Most impotant of all like love it can be shared any time of the year, not just on this one day of the year.
