as i think about the meaning of art, i cannot help but find the source of all art in the Lord God alone. He is the creator of all things, ergo, if things that are created are art, he is the ultimate artist. This is an amazing thought, we, as human beings on this earth, are made in the image of the Ultimate Creative Artist. This is such a blessing: the Lord allows us to be creative as He is creative and model His character on earth in this way. Me, a human, made in the image of the Holy and perfect God of the Universe, has the capacity to imitate God by using the gifts He has given me to display His beauty. incredible...

what i find interesting is people who seek to find 'inspiration' for their designs in the work of other fallible humans. why would one do such a thing when all we need to do is look outside, (even at ourselves) and see the Master Creator's work and find perfect inspiration for all we might venture to do in the realm of art. our gracious Creator has made us in His image, able to think and live and feel. this truly is an amazing fact; one surly worth dwelling upon.
