ART???

[kthompson]

Many members of my family are artists. My mom was into abstract art. She did some pretty wild, intense stuff with huge, deep personal meaning to her. I didn't care for most of it when I was young. I was more interested in my dad's WWII watercolors depicting action and jungle scenes. But as I get older, I can appreciate what my mom was trying to express in her works. And now that she's gone, I cannot discuss it with her. So, yes, most of her work did not appeal to me. I would not hang most of it in my house. But I would never call it crap as it meant something very important to her. And that is what art is....

My Mom graduated this world soon be two years ago. Anything she had touched took on whole new value. Still not a big fan or her poems but more valuable by far. Used one of her cooking spoons this morning to stir grits and it is special still. I understand very much. kt

Add in the local newpaper last week by a Down Under... Artist Needs $18,000 dollars for a work of art in the local area... My pocket book is closed. Another story was about a guy who got a Masters in music and his student loans were about $175,000 dollars... He bailed to an overseas country and is not comming back to pay! Save your bacon grease... makes bread taste better!
