Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.

What Does Victory Look Like

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Victory.”

Here are just a few reminders of victory from my family album.

The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Anything Painted

cees-fun-foto

It’s Fun Foto time again. This week it is all about things painted. My mind immediately went to C.cada when I saw this challenge and all the painting we do as an artist’s collaborative.

Our mission statement for C.cada is…

C.cada (Cornerstone Christian artist’s day apart) was begun in an effort to give artists from every genre an opportunity to come together to discover, develop, and deploy their talents in ways that will better the church and the community.

To that end writers write, singers sing, musicians play and painters paint.
