Artwork.

There are two framed prints by Claude Monet hanging on my office wall. I face them all day long at work. I was sitting back in my chair pondering questions about life, staring at those pictures when I entered my own universe. My thoughts went to my home where there is another replication by Monet. Monet has always been one of my favorite artists, but why? Probably for the same reason that I am so enthralled by Thomas Kinkade…..their works take me out of this world and allow me to be in a peaceful place. A place that I would find myself going when life is difficult or quiet time was needed. Somewhere that people wouldn’t be to interrupt putting together the puzzle pieces of life that just don’t quite fit.

I was soon whisked away being reminded of time spent with some of the most incredible pieces of art in existence. I found myself again walking under the Sistine Chapel, through the Accademia Museum which holds Michealangelo’s David, into an air tight room to view The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, and into weeks of taking in the finest creations the art world has ever seen. Buildings, statues, paintings, all awe inspiring, leaving one to one’s own thoughts.

As quickly as I became lost in thought…..the phone reminded me I was at work and reality rolled over the top of my universe.
