Art

Art has the ability to awaken the senses. It can take you a different place. It can give you a new, fresh perspective on an old topic. I find art galleries amazing. To try in an instant to capture the thoughts, the feelings of the artist when he or she painted that work, it's an intellectual challenge. I stand in awe of the imagination, the creativity of artists. It's incredible how a person can use paint on a canvas or charcoal or marble or other medium and be so innovative in capturing an idea. It's just amazing.

I agree totally. I can't paint or draw and I'm just in awe of these artists.

I'm not an artist. I just love art. My artistic side leans towards writing poetry, which I haven't done in a long time. Since I can't create visually like an artist, I try to create my vision in words.

I feel the same about really good musicians, which I am not. Who are some of your favorite artists?

Van Gogh, Chagall, Picasso if we're looking at the greatest painters. In terms of artists right now. I don't follow anyone's work. I pretty much just go to art galleries and art museums. There's just so much out there. I believe to keep track of certain artists either you connect with their work or you're a collector. When I say connect, it has to be something so moving that it grabs you. I recall years ago some.of the work.of the Bosnian artist Mensud Keco being shown on television. This was work he did in the midst of the war in the Balkans. It was gripping. He was depicting the atrocities around him and used religious symbolism to deliver the message.

I am lucky living so close to London with it multiple galleries, I do love the National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square. I have started watercolour painting, I am sure it helps the creativity and you are no too old to learn something
