Have a slice of art...

 I am no expert when it comes to analyzing art but the one thing I have learnt over the years is that one doesn't need to be an expert to appreciate something great. As the famous author and poet, Thomas Merton once said, "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time". He couldn't have expressed the feeling of being consumed by something inanimate yet so full of life, any better.  

Recently, one such artist that has definitely grabbed my attention is Francoise Nielly. Her larger than life portraits produced with just knives and oil paints, captures the spirit of life with its bold, bright, vibrant colors. Illuminating and energizing the admirer, her paintings have inevitably been etched into my mind and list of favorite things!
