The art of art?

Over the last week, art has come to my attention more than usual. Perhaps, it's just because I have spoken with artists or acknowledged the art I have seen in public places. To be honest, perhaps it is also because my new apartment is empty and lacks any creativity which drives me crazy!

Many of my friends are very creative, but they all specialize in different things. Many of them are good painters. Some can write and play music, others are just good with words or creating things on photo shop. Either way they all have a special hobby that I wish I could endure myself. However, I don't have any of these creative senses of my own, or if I do, I do not know how to produce them. What I do have is an appreciation for the products others produce and the time that is spent on these things. Art is simply what you make of it. It is not always interpreted the same by each individual, nor is it suppose to be interpreted the same way. That is the beauty of art, it is what you make of it.

Last weekend, I was having a conversation with one of my friends about art. In fact she is a very good painter and was talking to me about her aspirations in life on owning a shop one day that includes some of her own art. I told her I enjoyed her work always have. I also told her I wish I had creativity like that, she said as long as I have an appreciation for it, that was okay. Whether I am able to create art or not, art can still have an impact on my life and a positive impact.
