talented people in the arts

I love talent.
I love creativity.
It turns me on.

Take a look at this. It's a pencil drawing by a man named Brian Asher. Yep, this is a drawing...

Unbelievable isn't it? I also love CM Russell and Remington. Check them out sometime. It blows my mind when I look at their paintings and think, no one posed for those ~ it's all in their head and they have the ability to translate that into a piece of art. Stunning.

I also love Julian Beever...

How can you not smile when you see his sidewalk art.

And it isn't just art I love. I love writers too. There's nothing better than a really great story that you loose sleep over reading! Especially when the author is so good that you can become a part of the landscape and see it unfolding. Even the writers of a movie script, along with a good actor and all those wonderfully talented FX people can make you believe anything is possible.

And dancers. I'm not terribly coordinated or bendy, so talented dancers astound me as well.

Singers and musician too. Music can inspire your mood can't it? It can make you wiggle in your seat or hop to your feet. It can sooth you and relax you and make you feel. That's pretty cool.

Talented photographers can let you travel the world without leaving your home.

And last but certainly not least...I love the talent and creativity of all those people who sell their wares at local art fairs and craft shows.

I've seen some really beautiful things at those shows. I've seen things that were so delightful and unique, I just had to have them. Where else can you find a purse made out of old album covers? Or tin animals made out of old - tins! I just love things that are recycled into something else that's actually fun and useful.
