It’s art week at the Napkin Dad Daily!
I love quotes that surprise me with their idea. I hadn’t really thought about the idea of art influencing how I looked at nature in quite this way. I can see how art I have looked at over the years, that I have admired, has helped me see the natural world. It helps me see the organization and order, the chaos and confusion, the transitions of color and texture and material.
Has art done that for you?

“I wonder whether art has a higher function than to make me feel, appreciate, and enjoy natural objects for their art value.” – Bernard Berenson, 1865-1959, American art historian
>I try to live by a saying that goes, "Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful." Art brings a lot of joy to my life.
>I've always thought that my art is a way to convey the world as I see it–through my eyes. You get to peek into my mind. Don't know if that is a good thing! But sometimes it is a funny thing. With sparkles on it.
Your fan,
