Color Days, Oil Pastel, 22" x 30" CONTACT Marianne for purchase information The Landscape of Inner Beauty Summertime means soaking in luscious colors of the land, enjoying warm light, sparkling water and the luxury of fluid time. This outdoor season is reflected within just as the veiled and enveloping darkness of winter frames the structure of thoughts and actions. The land seeps into one's senses, constructing fleeting and sustaining emotions though color, texture, taste, smell and sound. The land reveals one's self to oneself. If you go towards it with an open heart and a real watchful reverence, then you will be absolutely amazed at what it will reveal to you. ~ Philosopher and poet poet John O'Donohue John O'Donohue spoke about beauty as being wholeness, making us whole from the outside going inward - different than a glamorous facade. He believes that everyone is an artist - "involved whether they like it or not in the construction of their world." Beauty is the medium that creates fulfilling and timeless meaning in one's life. We are our own greatest artwork. Catch Krista Tippett's interview "The Inner Landscape of Beauty" with John O'Donohue HERE Capture the Inner Beauty of Landscape:Vermont this August!
