Artwork, Mosaic of Life, by Cheryl Kellar: http://cherylkellar.com/about
how does an artist look at oneself objectively? Picasso’s inscrutable,
Van Gogh looks disturbed, Rembrandt is thoughtful, Durer has angel hair.
we can technically enhance “selfies” to make us seem better than we are
but doesn’t alter fact that we’re naturally selfish and overly self-conscious.
do we recognize that we’re meant to be a masterpiece? yes, created
in 3-dimensional form of body, mind, spirit…breathing, animated flesh
a living sculpture shaped by a loving Master, in his very image…yet,
afraid of his reflection, we paint over our mirror with dull, ugly colors.
i am thankful He found me – reclaimed, reframed to display in his gallery.
beauty himself pays highest bid, saves from auction and re-creates art!
