Companionship

Living with Art could, or in my opinion should be, compared with living with a good friend. If we knew or understood every detail about another person we would soon get bored and complacent in the relationship. A good friend continually reveals new and interesting characteristics. They challenge, comfort, convict, inspire, draw out passions we were not even aware of and generally stir our hearts to become a better person. Time apart is valuable as well... ahhh the coming back together is exciting at so many levels. It should be the same when living with a fine piece of art. Allowing Art to come into our private, intimate space... to dwell with, experience special moments together, speak to and hear from makes for a rewarding investment. Like when people meet face to face. We see the surface, that first impression. Yet as we continue to explore an unfolding depth of uniqueness is enjoyed. So too with Art. We are surprised, often encouraged and an awareness develops as to the potential our new companion offers. Staying connected becomes important and a beautiful lasting relationship evolves.
