Howdy,

All this chaos in the world has made me realize what art means to the world. Without art to look at, own, and enjoy, what would this world be like? Who could live in a world where winter robs you of all the greens, browns, purples, reds? I know winters up North might be quite lovely. But here in Texas it is like wet dry grass where ever there happens to be grass. And then acres of mud! White rock mixed with mud. Black mud, a type that is not seen in the whole world is in parts of North Texas. It is quite boring.

But thankfully I have a retreat. I live in an area south of Ft. Worth where it is much like East Texas. There is deep sand running to a clay. There is tall oaks, tall pines in places. Although the pines are not as thick, nor are they harvested as in the Piney woods of East Texas. Yet they do liven things up in this area. Lakes are abundant. Animals are thick in population. Deer, not as big as those in the hill country. And eagles. Nesting in places along the rivers and lakes. These birds are making a nice comeback from almost extinction around the state.

The sand is much cooler to live on than the black land. The sand cools off quickly as the sun sets. The black land that I was raised on holds the heat and releases it during the night. It is horrible in the summer, as it holds the heat and builds until it is like living in an oven!

By having art around to look at you get a chance to think and see, like out of a window. Horses galloping by. Cowboys riding up a road or across a stream. Cattle on the hills. And other things that you choose to calm and strengthen yourself to make it though the tough times, and even weather the storms outside during the harsh times around you. It is like saving a small place that is next to your heart. A memory that you can take out and live once again.

Makes evean an artist appreciate art all the more!

Later,
