Art Experience #3: Ben Harper in concert




I recently saw Ben Harper in concert. This concert was the best performance of music I have ever experienced. There is something about his stage presence that adds to the music. He is such a hard worker- he ran to get his guitars for the following song. It was as if he couldn't wait to play his next song for us! My favorite song he performed was Morning Yearning. Visit www.benharper.net for tour dates and more on Ben Harper! I will try to post the video of this song on my blog!

Art Experience #2: Natural Art




I recently visited Antietam in Maryland. The pictures shown above were most definately the highlight of my trip. There was a short storm followed by what you see above. The pictures are beautiful but did not do justice to seeing this rainbow in its true form. This is the closest I have ever been to the end of a rainbow. There must have been a pot of gold in the corn field a few feet away!

Art Experience #1 Museum/ Art Exhibit



I recently visited Tuscon, Arizona for a week long vacation. While we were there we took a tour of an Indian reservation. Within the reservation was a church. This drawing was found on the wall of the building. To me, this is a simple painting representing man and his search for an ultimate goal. Notice there is no direct, or simple route to the destination. Notice also the goal is always just out of reach and out of sight to the person within the maze. Also along the maze there are many ups and downs as there are in life. This painting is very symbolic in many ways.
