But we as artists, capture Nature, and create ART..we paint a flower, photograph a sunset, we sculpt, quilt, carve, write, sing, cook with nature. It all starts with Nature. Observe the color wheel. Observe the petals of a flower. Observe the dense colors of a sunrise or sunset. Observe nature.
Then, and only then will ART take place.

She worked in the library at Butler University, putting Hubby through school, so to speak. She worked on and off through my childhood, when working mothers were somewhat odd and not at all normative. It wasn't a matter of personal choice as much as necessity, because her husband's ministerial salary couldn'...
