Thank you for this, Bob. I love the word “wonder.” So appropriate. And, yes, we’ll continue to discover more.

The Creation of art (beauty) is essential to our interaction with the world. Bishop Robert Barron and Roger Scruton see it as an essential theraputic reaction to the world as it is. They see it as a very important work of taking the world as it is (a real fixer-upper) and showing us the way to address it. That is not to say art should be merely “message driven” but rather that the wonder of our creativity is in itself the message we need. It can lead us together to that “Blessed Community” that Dr. Martin Luther King envisioned. You’ve given us some good reasons to make art, I think we can discover a whole lot more! Thank You!

This is such a great read! I think so many of us are feeling unmotivated Right now and it’s like there’s a giant boulder in our path to creativity.

So timely, Alyson. I took the NY Times virtual 79th Street tour. As a native New Yorker, I relived those years in Manhattan. I experienced the detailed grandeur of the facade of THE MET. I was always so anxious to get inside, I never noticed the architecture. How many of us did that? Now during this COVID confinement, I am anxious to pull out all my Art History textbooks and delve in. Also.my studio has my sane place during this lock down. I was even forgetting what day of the week it was. Freaky.

Hi, First, excuse me if I do mistakes, English si not my mother tongue. I have to go to work everyday because I’m into food distribution business. I even work more hours than usual because of personnel lay-off . Also, my 22 year old daughter came back home and I had to re-transform my workshop to leave her room to sleep. I had started a painting before she came back 2 months ago but it seems that I’m loosing the « touch ». My Colors are dark, and I don’t like what it looks like. Also I have to put more efforts to get my material out to my kitchen to paint. What is wrong with my creativity and my motivation now ? I Used to post my creations to Facebook but I don’t feel like it anymore. What’s the point ? People loosing their jobs don’t have any money to buy arts at this time. Are there some artist feel like I do now? Thank you for your support Art Bizz Success.
