Soul Food

forms reaching skyward
while colors and textures play
soul merging with art

We just had a Grand Reopening Celebration for our local performing arts center called the Walton Arts Center. The event was filled with excitement as people feasted on food, music, and celebration. It was too much noise and stimulation for me so I wandered outside to find this lovely new sculpture in the courtyard. We are very lucky to have a performing arts center of this size and caliber in our relatively small town, and yet I’m not thrilled with the new design. Maybe it will grow on me, or maybe it’s time to practice gratitude. 🙂

Thanks Kirt. I love the sculpture and having the art center, just not the building itself. It doesn’t seem that inspiring or worth the huge cost. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

We love the sculpture at Gastradamus. Out with the old and in with the new, now that’s change we can believe in. Please check out my blog Gastradamus. Its incredible, people are comparing my formula of writing to the famous Terrance Winter. Please let us know what you think of Miss Scarlet and Blue Jasmine. You won’t be disappointed

Wonderful that you have such a great centre in your town Brad..I can see why this sculpture has you holding back your reserve as to its meaning… I often wonder what is in the mind of an artist as they create such pieces..
As you have taken the photo with the backdrop of trees and blue sky it looks striking. The posts to me perhaps symbolize stability as the sphere on the top denotes perhaps Oneness..
The centre itself looks to be modern in design.. Its wonderful though as it brings people together..
Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving Brad… Enjoy your day my friend Sue x

We don’t always know what art means to the creator and some artists want to stimulate us to find our own. The center is quite fancy and brings wonderful performers, but not very attractive to me. Thankfully, I only paid a tiny amount in taxes. 🙂

A walk with my friend Baxxter (a retriewer) and my cam through the wood is my soulfood.
In one of my articles I posted a video with a walk through our wood in springtime.
If you like have a look:

Thanks Pete. Your forest looks like a great place to walk and be nourished. I like the idea of barefoot but too many rocks on our trails. So I do my barefoot walking on grass. 🙂
