Fixing Art or Life

photography by Luke Miller
Have you ever known exactly what someone else should do to fix their opus or life, but you can’t do anything about it because it’s their art, their existence? You stomp your foot and fume, but they don’t rescue themselves—not even if you spell out how in three easy steps. But turn to the canvas on your own easel, the face in your mirror—and all of a sudden you’re as clueless as your friend.

Same-old, Same-old Meets Grandeur of Life

photography by Luke Miller
Is it just me, or does the grandeur of life sometimes sneak up on you? I was going on in my same-old, same-old life when grandeur walked through my front door. Beauty, emotion, depth of connection. Art.

Breathing In Beauty, Tranquility


Am I wacked, or do you ever stand in front of your favorite picture and try to breathe it in before you have to face something you dread? Does art bring tranquility? Is beauty an outgrowth of the divine? Thoughts?

Irreparably Marred or Deepened?

      photography by Luke Miller
Ever have a painting you've stared at for years and loved? Then, one day, you see something which alters the way you view the piece forever. And you have to decide whether the art has been irreparably marred or merely deepened.
