Believe it, or not, but humans aren’t the only creatures who appreciate art. The funny thing is that the other critters of this world don’t get all uptight when their art isn’t perfect- or praised- by others. It’s this type of art that inspired man to ‘control’ it.

Any control freaks out there? Hi! Yep, I’m one who’s still learning that the greatest control is releasing it. I’ll ‘splain more later.

Take a moment each day to seek out nature’s artwork. Find what moves your heart and capture it in a photograph, a sketch, scribbles of color… anything to help you remember what touched your soul. Art is anything that stimulates-inspires-enlightens the senses AND the spirit. It’s multi-dimensional, everlasting, and a gift to be enjoyed, contemplated, and explored.

Nature’s art? Here are some examples:

Sunrise/sunset (go ahead, if you really want to sing)

Starry sky, storm clouds, golden hour

Symmetry/color- flowers, birds, bugs/butterflies, fish

Music- bird songs, wind, rain, waterfalls, ocean

Scents

Textures

Tastes (Culinary art means it’s okay to eat a cupcake and drink wine while coloring!)
