Call me sappy, but I think this is worth watching. A reminder of sorts...

Misc...
Interesting article in NY Times pointing to a resurgence of small abstract paintings... they're saying "In a time of glut and waste on every front, compression and economy have undeniable appeal. And if a great work of art is one that is essential in all its parts, that has nothing superfluous or that can be subtracted, working small may improve the odds." Amazing, how unenlightened I would be without having these trends pointed out to me... and I do not jest!

Thank you for displaying the video on your blog, because I wouldn't have seen it otherwise. Different people, different passions, same big wonderful world.
I love this! Also, my daughter sang this song in the 4th grade program this fall...she's going to love seeing it! Thanks.
Also, got to your blog from another artist blog and just looked through your lovely paintings...very nice...i really like them.

Wow! I, too, love this video! If that's sappy, then fine, that is what I am! Sets the right mood for me for the week ahead!
Thanks, Karen,

I love that video! Thanks for sharing that. I too saw the NYT article on Sunday. It reminded me of how captivated I was by the smallest works at the art fairs in Miami. I couldn't explain it at the time, really. But obviously there's a wonderful intimacy about small works.
