1/28
So yesterday I don't know if I fully expressed myself when I was talking about ones viewpoint. While i backtracked (and am doing so again) I want to further back up what Im saying.
As an artist when studying a still life one has to see the object in its fullness. Sometimes it takes a lecturer to point out the somewhat white spots, the slight shadows, the yellow or orange tint in the subject etc. One also has to consider the light source and the shape and texture of the form. These things are taught. While artists may be generally good at seeing they also are taught in theory what to look out for. They're conditioned to look for certain things.
What stood out to me on one particular session such as the above is how everyone viewed the same still life different. One boy specifically stood out to me, he had really emphasized the light source to a point that it looked like a lightning bolt had struck his page.
His interpretation of the situation was dramatically different from the rest. We all have different glasses on through which we view life. Some situation require a more professional pair, some shocking pink cat lady glasses. It's really our choice as to what we choose.
We derive a lot of dis/satisfaction from viewing life as a drudge or viewing it as a miracle.
I hope you put on the love glasses today and see it as the day the Lord intended it to be, a miracle!
Love,
Phoenix & Sarah
