Maybe it's just me, but this year has gone by at the speed of light.
This Winter 2005 issue is the twentieth Horses In Art we have published, and
it seems like we just started.
I'm lucky because this quarterly publication forces me to divide my
year in four pieces. That allows me to focus on three months at a time. I
have certain tasks to accomplish in these three-month sections, such as read
and decide on editorial, view artwork I've never seen, contact hundreds of
artists and plan for events and exhibits. It helps to slow down the year. If
it wasn't chopped up for me in four sections, I fear it would fly by in one
big piece, in one sitting, like one big meal.
You have to admire the French - they like to take their time with a
meal - a little at a time, several courses. By design this slows down the
meal, making time to enjoy each course.
Appreciating the world of fine art does the same thing for people
without them even knowing it. If you pause even for a second to view an
eye-catching work of art, it has slowed you down, divided up the day, your
attention, and your focus. And what does that do for you? It gives you a
moment in time you would have missed entirely without it. This concept of
pressing the pause button on life is quite a valuable one. It can be applied
to other meaningful things like loving your family and helping others. It
can be summed up with the following quote.
"Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without
it." - Robert Motherwell
The staff at Horses In Art wish you and yours the gift of time to enjoy
the holidays in the most meaningful way possible - sharing love and joy with
family and friends. God bless and enjoy!
