SO this stood out to me today not classic art but definable graphic art fab. speaking to me of war and what it looks like with dark whims of rabbits. It's Easter colors mixed with the horror of war. Not sure why this is sticking out to me today must be the pending doom I am feeling about joining the gym. Yep I am dramatic enough to go there think of the suits as treadmills the bullets the judgment coming your way, carnage of human souls lost to the fight for health and your with me. No idea who drew it but bravo!
This blog came from something I started with friends the challenge was to do was to take in beauty once a day not scrolling through pictures but actually sit and soak in. I invite you to take the time to do this with me and share what you see. Take to snob out of art what does this art really say.

Expansion
I started this as a way to gain beauty in my life everyday mainly the by product being I could look back at this and enjoy the road it took me on and making art real to my self and other not so intimidating. Well I started good then started judging my self feeling stupid for what i saw or thought as I looked or how the real art people would be judging me. It intimidated me into not writing for a while. That intimidation was what I started this about I love art all art even bad art because it is an expanded of our soul those art people that make it so out of reach make the rest of us loose out on expanded vision. SO I dedicate my self to bring art to real life.

One of my favorite artists
SO I figured It is my choice of what I get to put here so I am putting one of my favorite artists Rene Magritte I have always love surrealism it has such whimsy to it his pictures of the very proper man with the apple for a face have been one I look for often. For this I choose his painting Apple couple. Hope you like it as much as I do.
I love the whimsy of this. I love that it could be a normal fruit painting but it conveys so much more I think it speaks to me of relationships as people we put our best forward hiding the parts we do not like but like the browned edges of the leaves it shows any way. It is like every facebook couple I see smiling away from profile after profile. I love how out of place and over sized they are. the moon out showing through the clouds on a sunny day. The feeling of it being ok and not all at the same time perfectly normal and abnormal too. It reminds me not to take life so serious and to be silly once in a while. I am sure it has deeper meanings but this is what it says to me.
What does it say to you?
