Painting Pictures with Words

Words make everyday communication possible. We need them to express our most basic human needs. However, we often forget their artistic quality. For years, writers have been painting pictures with words. From classic literature to poetry; from the daily newspaper to our favorite magazines – an artful arrangement of a few prepositions, adjectives, nouns and verbs can grant us entrance into the lives of others (both fictional and real) and keep us connected to the world in which we live. It is truly amazing.

Every time I pick up a book or even the newspaper, I am in awe of the talented artists that both give me an escape and keep me informed. When you think about it, this blog is an extension of my artistic touch. While I am no Charlotte Bronte or Mitch Albom, the words I use to give each of you a glimpse into my life and my thoughts on art are clear examples of artistic expression.

Here’s to words and the colorful pictures they paint. Here’s to art.
