Take the Dutch artist Max Zorn for instance. He uses packing tape to create amazing pictures of every day subjects. He pastes and cuts the material where he sees fit and beauty unfolds before your eyes.

They can either work with a blank canvas, or turn a blemished one into a piece of art. That is why those experts are also considered to be artists in my book.

He received a car kit from the scouts, was told to shape it in anything he wanted, and was given the date it had to be ready for the race.
That sounded easy enough, but it sure wasn't.

We sure did and we ended up with more then we had previously. Our grandson had put his creativity to good use at school and surprised us with several cute ornaments.

I am not talking about all the cakes, cookies, key chains, paintings, etc, although those are pretty arty and creative as well. No, I am talking about creations with actual basket balls.

He made a career out of fabricating sculptures with these building blocks and has already 80 pieces to his name, among which are a 20 feet long dinosaur and an English phone boot to name a few.

This fruity art however is fully intended to make it to the table and be feasted upon.

It so turns out that one of the physicians whom I visit regularly has a wide interest when it comes to art.

It gives me feelings of comfort, peace and serenity. I suppose those go hand in hand and/or are associated with some of my heritage since both of my grandfathers were farmers.
I can't help it though; for some reason those painted hay bales seem totally out of place.

When Halloween was coming close they had a huge, round hay bale on display which was painted on each side with the resemblance of a carved pumpkin face.
