Thanks for this very deeply thought out piece, Ta.
Your analogy of creating art with cooking resonates.....a daily re-creation....it reminds me of the kinds of art that don't last long - sand castles, sculptures and indeed, sand pictures - which only last till the wind or tide eradicate them.
I suspect art is a personal expression of the passion within - once created, even if none sees it, it has done its 'job'. Remember the abundance of plants, flowers, grasses, natural beauties in the world, which flourish, whether or not a human stands ready to admire. Thank you.
Reading this made me think of Tibetan Buddhist sand mandalas and the movie Samsara (which I loved) and how the intricate artworks - which take a long time to complete - are then ritually destroyed and all the sand collected and returned to nature. Beautiful writing, as always!

Yes, I love that 'art is a personal expression of the passion within'. Another beautiful lense to contemplate this through.
Beautiful piece and such a huge reminder about remembering to look inside and discover the riches of our artistic expression form the inside out 💗
Thanks Natalie. Yes, it is such a rich journey. x
