Hello beautiful Souls,
Today I want to share with you one of my favourite things in life, Art! – And why I love the idea of living an artful life.
Let me paint a picture of how I see it.
In our adventure and expression of life, every moment, every action, and every emotion contribute to the masterpiece that is our life. After my first visit to Paris, I adopted the philosophy that “LIFE IS ART and ART IS LIFE”. It is like wielding a paintbrush to create a canvas reflecting our essence.
Helena Bonham Carter beautifully encapsulates this sentiment: “I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea, How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. – Life is art.”
Painting with Actions and Expressions
Life is not a series of mundane tasks but a continuous flow of artistic expression. From how we dress to how we talk, every action is a stroke on the canvas of our life. Like a painter choosing colours, we choose our words, actions, and attitudes, shaping the masterpiece that is uniquely ours.
Love: The Most Beautiful Brushstroke
The way we love is perhaps the most profound art form. Love is a masterpiece created through the delicate balance of understanding, compassion, and vulnerability. It is expressed in grand gestures and the subtleties of everyday interactions. The gentle touch, the kind words, and the shared laughter all contribute to the masterpiece of love that colors our lives.
Personal Style: Fashioning Our Canva
Our personal style is a visual representation of our inner selves. How we dress is a form of self-expression, a language communicating our identity to the world. Whether it’s a choice of colours, patterns, or accessories, the choices we fashion are strokes on the canvas that can narrate the story of who we are.
Dreams: The Visionary Art
Dreams are the sketches that precede the masterpiece. What we aspire to achieve, the goals we set, and the heights we aim to reach are the visionary art that propels us forward. Dreams give purpose to our journey and add depth and meaning to the artwork of our lives. And sometimes, our dreams put us in touch with past incarnations when art was our vocation and cherished way of life.
Artful Living: Sipping Tea and Decorating Spaces
Even the seemingly mundane aspects of life contribute to our larger story. The way we sip our tea, our attention to decorating our spaces, and the thoughtfulness behind our daily routines all become integral parts of our artistic narrative. Artful living transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.
The Art of Belief and Personality
Our beliefs and personalities are like our signature on lifes canvas. They distinguish our artwork from others, adding a unique flavour to the overall composition. What we stand for, the principles we uphold, and the way we navigate the world showcase the artistry of our character.
Embracing Imperfection: The Beauty of the Unfinished Canvas
Just as a masterpiece is not created daily, our lives are continually evolving artworks. Embracing imperfection is recognizing the beauty of your unfinished art. Every mistake, setback, and challenge is necessary to add depth and richness to the overall composition.
In the gallery of life, we are both the artist and the artwork. LIFE IS ART, and ART IS LIFE. With every breath, we can create a masterpiece that reflects our authenticity, passion, and the vibrant hues of our unique experience of life.
Let us paint boldly, love fully, and live unapologetically, for in doing so, we contribute to the timeless artistry of life.
Art to Art and Blessings Abound, Elizabeth
