Art: Why It’s Personal!
A large field of grass. On the distant horizon line a small shabby house is set against a forest. On the porch of the house a lonely young girl in a drab skirt sits on a wooden box. In the foreground, far from the house, almost unnoticed except for its color lies a tiny silver bell in the grass tied to a broken string. There is nothing else in the frame of the picture. You feel her sadness. You know something has been lost. Maybe you've lost something or someone in your life. It's why this painting or photograph or drawing means so much to you. It's hung in a certain private place in your home. Somewhere not everyone will see you stop to gaze at it. One day you might put it where more people can see it.
