I’ve never been big on paying attention to the latest fashion. Wear what you want! From crazy clothes, to unexpected jewelry with your favorite pet . If you saw my closet, you’d know what I mean. Thrift store skirts, used jackets, silk blouses that have been reborn. But these clothes all have something in common- they are beautiful!

And sometimes outrageous. I like to wake people up with my invented fashion sense. (Or as my mother would say “non-sense!”) The thing is, if it makes you feel glamorous, aesthetic or wildly funny, why not wear it? I’ve always thought clothes should be fun, and if you consider yourself an artist, wear whatever you feel like! Of course, you just might want to pay a little attention to what colors go well together, but that might be the only limiting factor.

Have you heard about the elephant artists? I saw a video recently which really amazed me. It was an elephant, filmed live painting another elephant recognizably holding a flower in his trunk. It was the most beautiful thing, and a good reminder that it isn’t just we humans with the artistic souls.

Not too long ago my library had an exhibit of elephant art, and I swear the use of color and design was something I really can’t explain outside the realm of elephants are more kindred spirits than we’ve ever supposed. If elephants are moved by the muse, it makes you wonder what’s really going on between those gigantic ears.

Most people are drawn to beautiful colors. Have you noticed how even a baby will make his way towards a brightly colored ball, his little face intent on that goal? Colorful art and jewelry have played a part in the history of humankind since time immemorial.

I love to flip through an art book with paintings from the Renaissance and even earlier. Now those artists really appreciated color and created some amazingly creative ways to use it!
