Just an inspiring moment worth sharing!

This is a Cityscape oil painting of Paris done by R. Davey. I saw this hanging in one of my resident's bedrooms and I found it so fascinating. You probably cannot see it very well just on here but if you saw it in person, you would see what I mean. From a distance, you can tell what the objects are. You can see people, even the details of their clothing. You can see a tree, buildings, the details in the ground. But when you look at it very closely, it is all just a mixture of colors and blobs of paint. I stood there trying to figure out how the artist did it and just marveling over how talented he was. My first thought was "I need to try this!" It inspired me so much because as a kid, I used to draw all the time and was so into art, but I kind of lost it in the busyness of growing up and day to day routines. Just having this moment made me remember that I can be that talented if  I take the time at it! I guess this was kind of a light bulb moment for me.

Another thing I thought of while looking at this was the meaning. I thought of it as from a distance, from far away, we are all just people, human beings. We all generally look the same, but when you look closer and get to know someone, looking deeper, each individual is made up of many different "colors", talents, characteristics- which is what makes each person unique.

I tend to become inspired while I am at work, and not sure how that happens since I mean, come on, it's work. But somehow, some way it happens. When I'm feeling down or having a bad day, something happens whether it's a conversation with a resident or something like a painting on their wall that touches me deeper than you'd think, and this is just one example. Even though, this may not really affect others, I thought it was worth sharing. I guess it can be a reminder to keep your eyes open to deeper meanings and to possibly incorporate something new or interesting into your own life, or maybe just as simple as appreciating something beautiful.
