What's In A Name?

Artistic can be defined as showing imaginative skill in arrangement or execution. Rhythms are harmonious patterns created by lines, forms, and colors in the visual arts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With imagination there are no limits imposed in form or content. Harmony is reached through a pleasingly consistent show of the chosen form and content.

Also, I just liked how these two words sounded together. Without too much thinking, they mean to me:

The rhythm of life through art.

Words

I am so often inspired by other's words, whether it be in person, in books, in movies or shows, online, or on bathroom walls. I love to visually express the image a word or collection of words can produce. What comes to one's mind may not be the same as another's.

The Art of the Smile

A smile can be very powerful.
A smile can warm a heart, cheer a spirit, encourage an action.
A smile can be from a loved one or

A simple exchange between strangers.

I have a special fondness for a smile between strangers. For me, it can be a genuine and momentary reminder of how we are all universally connected.

The Art of Traveling Through Time

As long as I can remember I have wished I could. Would you, if you could? Would you like to go back to moments in your own life and make different decisions? Would you rather travel back to a historical time period that interests you? This is what I would choose, to immerse myself in a particular time for a while and then move on to the next. To take someone along with you to experience this would be ideal, don't you think?

Somebody's Watching


"I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playin' tricks on me?
I don't know anymore
Are the neighbors watching me
Well is the mailman watching me
And I don't feel safe anymore, oh what a mess
I wonder who's watching me now? Who? The IRS?..."

~Rockwell 'Somebody's Watching Me'

Remember this song? ;)
