“I feel that art has something to do with the achievement of stillness in the midst of chaos. A stillness which characterizes prayer too, and the eye of the storm. I think art has something to do with an arrest of attention in the midst of distraction.” ~Saul Bellow
I think there’s some truth to this. I would take it further to say that not only the creation of art, but truly seeing art also has a connection to achieving stillness. It is the ability to see the unseen amidst the craziness of daily life – even if only for a moment – that is key.
Here are our latest works:

Nice collection of shots! Well done!
Thanks so much!
Yeah, I'm excited about the special post. I've been working on a collage of sorts to use as a year in review. It's pretty cool to see everything I've done for this project over the past year in one place!
Beautiful pictures everyone!
