Got a bit quiet again. Had a lot of work, you know of the job salary type, and was on a holiday. The latter triggered me to write about something I want to share. I was walking in the blazing sun, yeah escaped the cold and wet North, grasping the tidal streams flowing around my feet at the mediterranean sea. What a beautiful thing to see! This wasn't the first time I gave it a thought; how simple things in nature give you that strong 'wow' feeling.
What has this to do with art? Well, I was wondering how art would compare with nature in its 'wow' effect. I mean, we go to galleries and come across maybe a one or two peaces that really grab our attention in the way these natural occurring things do. You might question the existence of having art at all. What's the point when having plenty of events and views to enjoy in the outdoors? Good point!
But, even when you think about how easy it is to see beautiful things in nature, a good art piece is still a major accomplishment. For a somebody to create something that others didn't came up with and gives you a 'wow' feeling is a great accomplishment.
Its just that we all, even the great masters in the art, are so tiny compared with the true master of creation, whether you believe it to be god or not.
