When I do take the time, I'm always rewarded, not just with the end product of pretty pictures but by the process and how it requires me to slow down and appreciate things. Painting requires slowing down even more and paying closer attention to the small details.<br /><br />Finding new and unusual uses for old, familiar items fascinates me as well. I especially love art and architecture that does this. (Google earthships for an example in architecture.) There is something profoundly beautiful to me about taking some broken, discarded item and making it new and lovely again.<br /><br />Time to click that link and check out Ted Kooser's poetry now.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261889568430251361.post-28679981678442370592010-04-12T09:04:57.389-05:002010-04-12T09:04:57.389-05:00Visit the link to Ted Kooser's website, and yo...Visit the link to Ted Kooser's website, and you'll find a video of him reading and discussing his poetry. I've watched the first 2-minutes, and within that timeframe, you learn a lot about the man. I like people who don't take themselves too seriously.muddywatershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01931430262448981621noreply@blogger.com
