Today I am writing about something that I have been thinking a lot about lately.  To search or not to search…that is my question.  To further clarify why I am asking this question, I will tell you about a specific type of art that I am looking for.  Art is something that I really treasure.  The artists (be it a musician, painter, sculptor, etc.) all have such a unique way in which they interpret how they view the world in which we live.  When I own art, I feel that it is a reflection of how I view the world in which I live.  This creates a bond for me between myself and my environment; one that supports my values, feelings and perceptions of the world around me.  I am also always very interested in contemplating how the artist views the world and what inspired them when creating a particular piece of art.

At any rate, when I am looking for new art that I have not seen before, I will do everything I can to find something that truly reflects how I feel, what I enjoy and that which I find really beautiful.  Sometimes I miss the Berenty Reserve, but my art makes me feel like home no matter where I am.  So, I search and search for things that remind me of home!  However, I wonder how many people become exhausted with the search and give up?  How often do you look like this?  Needing something but weary of the search?

Well, I thought that a good place to start was on a social networking site where there are groups just for artists that create mosaic art.  I found so many beautiful works of art, but could not find many of their websites or determine if these were simply people that were fans of mosaic art like myself.  After joining five groups (the last being my favorite and whom I am eager to tell you about!), I found a link to a world art exhibition that featured hundreds of artists.  I felt a bit overwhelmed and wondered how many people would browse the art on this site, but grow weary of sitting for so long in their computer chairs!  Still, I continued my search! 

On the website I found, I saw beautiful sculptures, incredible paintings exhibiting surrealism, watercolor and even tattoo art!  Thinking for a moment, I began wondering how I ended up on this site when I had been searching for mosaic art.  I found a lot of stunning artwork, but nothing that made me feel like home.  So what is a lemur to do… 

Look at all those books…imagine those are endless blogs!

The other day I was talking to Zack about this new platform he has created that makes finding what you want, need or didn’t even know existed become a possibility.  Not only will I, YOU and everyone be able to find what we want with ease, but there will be unique opportunities available to us that are offered through no one but Zack Brandit.  So, when I have a chance to talk to him, I am going to talk more about making my life easier because to search or not to search…that is indeed the question!  So…did I find the art I was looking for or did I find something better…

To be continued…
