SHOW DESCRIPTION:
“Reflections of Gratitude”
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
The season of Thanksgiving – a time of gathering with and appreciating family and friends. A time for expressing gratitude.
Gratitude is an art of painting an adversity into a lovely picture.
~ Kak Sri
This call seeks to discover visual expressions and representations of gratitude. Art that embodies gratefulness you have felt in significant moments of your life and in the lives of those you hold dear.
