Art and Life

I have art that seems be life, and pieces of life that becomes art...

My grandmother and grandfather on their wedding day. Life turned into art.

An artwork by one of my dearest friends, Karen Grunwald, a charcoal/pastel drawing of her great-grandmother. This artwork is a life.

And then there is this. An artwork by my other dear friend, Louise Kritzinger, a cement sculpture of her late dog (she didn't put a cast on the dead dog! Though it can appear to be just that. She made the clay sculpture and then formed the rubber mould, and cast the cement. She works with such delicacy and precision that the art becomes truly life-like). I think it is beautiful.

And the real deal. Our darling dog, Pippin. She is an artwork! I will have to dedicate an entire blog post to her in the near future...
