colors.

i've took private art lessons for five years so i think it's safe to say i'm an artist. no i don't paint everyday-in fact i havn't painted in awhile, but as an artist i tend to see things from a different point of view. i tend to notice things others don't as well as fantasize about things being different than how they are. i see art in more than just paintings or sketches, i see art in the way chemicals combine in chemistry, the way words flow so smoothly in a love letter, and the way my cat licks himself every night before he goes to bed. there's an art to everything. i came across this quote last night and wanted to post it, i thought it was very thought provoking. it reminds me that there is art everywhere we look. it's from The Book Thief:

'People observe the colors of the day only at its beginning and ends, but to me it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitue of shades and intonations, with each passing moment. A single houre cna consist of thousands of different colors. Waxy yellows, cloud-spat blues. Murky darknesses. In my line of work, I make it a point to notice them.'
