When looking for art, it is truly in the eye of the beholder. Since giving myself this challenge, I have looked for something artistic in all sorts of places. Often I take lots of photos trying to get a shot that shows beauty. Maybe by the end of this year, I will take less shots or more easily take an artistic shot. For now, here a few pictures where I tried to show beauty out of something common.

One of my friends loves music and is a very talented musician. I love hearing her play as well as looking at the instruments she has sitting around her house. This is a picture of her guitar and cello.

Wednesday I took multiple shots trying to find an artistic one. I spent the day cooking and baking and took a picture of my mess, which I almost posted since it was beauty in the outcome. However, my friend drew this picture of me at our church worship meeting. How could I not post an artistic photo of a beautiful piece of art?

The sad part of Christmas... a tree once covered in lights and ornaments, abandoned by the trash cans. Three weeks ago this tree was in the center of a celebration of family and love. Dressed in the brightest colors, protecting perfectly wrapped presents underneath, a representation of unity that brings so many different parts together into something beautiful. Now it is naked and alone facing an unknown future with only memories to hold onto. Yet, there is still something beautiful about a green tree in a place usually covered with dirt, dust and trash. It made me smile and remember the times I shared with my family and look forward to more to come.
