One Look at Life

I wouldn't say this spoke to me, but I know it did stand out among the pictures. What I find amazing is that it looks like it was the same place all 365 days that the picture was taken. It also makes me happy to know some parts of the world are made of nature that isn't and won't be disturbed. My favorite season is winter because that is the season I have the most memories of, both bad and good. Me and my siblings would go out to make an igloo in the backyard, or when my sister was pushed on the ice and had gotten 4 stitches on her chin. What is your favorite season?

Colors of a Bond

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I saw this piece of art, but I knew it should be named this. You know that feeling you get when the moment you see it, you know it has to be something? Yeah well that's how I thought of this name. I love how the colors of the two cats are combined in the center to create a heart which I feel represents a bond that only they two, who have their own colors, can create.

Hypnotic Eyes

12

34

When I look at numbers 1 and 4 I think a cat. Most likely because of the vertical pupils, but what else in a cat, or any animal for that matter, helps you identify that animal? For me it's the intent in their eyes. Domestic dogs show the happiness of a small child playing with family and friends, while cats have a somehow wiser and independent look, if that makes any sense. When I was younger I had trouble looking people directly in the eye, perhaps it was what I was taught in Japan when I was younger, but it doesn't make a difference. People also hold power in their gaze which, like it did me, deters people from making eye contact. Is it power? Or is it something that says danger?  If you have a pet, how would you describe their eyes? If not then look at your family/friends eyes for a couple seconds, what do you see? 

Hypnotic Eyes

I found some drawings of these beautiful eyes online, and the following posts are all from the same artist. I call these Hypnotic Eyes because when I first saw them I felt myself getting pulled in by something, as if these eyes were real and held emotion from a real person. I love listening to stories from the elderly, when life wasn't ruled by technology, and kids were so much more creative. If you were to turn 90 today, what would be the one thing that matters most in life?

Just Have Fun

(For the students in school out there)
School can be boring, but who knows, perhaps it is actually a place for imagination to blossom when you listen to that one teacher dump a million facts that are already up on the board. 
Point is, even the most boring, useless feeling activity may and will eventually lead to something in life. But it brings something up when I see people just have fun with what they enjoy. Not because someone forced them into it, but because they truly have a passion for it and just have fun. Sadly, for some people, they are held back by the fact that someone out there is judging them, so my question to you is: What would you do differently if you knew no one would judge you for it?

Colors of Life

I don't know how to say it, but I'll put it in the easiest way possible. I love drawings that mean anything and everything. These drawings take my breathe away when i see them, and it gives me a peek inside the artist's heart and mind. Drawings are windows into a person's heart. So what do your drawings tell about you?
