HELLO!
My not yet 3 year old granddaughter was eating lunch with me and her 6 year old brother today. She looked around the restaurant and said, "look grandma, it is so beautiful!" I asked her what she saw that was so beautiful because the restaurant was a typical family owned Italian restaurant. "Look it is red and beautiful!" she replied. She was pointing to some red metal art work on the back wall. I noticed that it was much too small for such a big room and metal just did not seem to "go" with all the paintings of Italy.
Me, grandma, the VERY latecomer to wall art took in all the ways the metal art was not beautiful while the eyes of the child only noticed the beauty.
So, what are we really seeing in art everywhere? Beauty, I hope.

We have to remember: Life is a matter of perspective. Children see the world through the eyes of innocence and that changes as they grow up. Growing up and having different experiences in life changes our perspective. Oh to have the eyes of innocence once again!
