POWER OF ART — Brings Hope and Peace
Healing Power of a Beautiful Painting in its Creation and Appreciation
To send light into the darkness of men’s heart’s — such is the duty of the artist. Robert Schumann
Sometimes the paths we take are long and hard, but remember those are often the ones that lead to the most beautiful views. Have the courage to make that journey. Dainere Anthoney
Great art picks up where nature ends. Marc Chagall
Nature and all life is God’s magnificent creation! I stand in awe every day. From the rising of the sun till the moment it sets in all its glorious colours. No artist can truly capture God’s creation, no matter how skilled. We are blessed, however, to have Masters, and others, who have succeeded in transposing a small piece of nature onto canvas for our pleasure.
Onlookers standing before a beautiful painting may be carried away to a distant place and time. A beautiful painting truly has the power to carry the viewer off on a journey. Perhaps this journey has healing power, even if only for a moment. The power to take away loneliness. The power to replace sadness with a smile. The power to reminisce for a moment. A beautiful painting can inspire!
