What is it about a person that can look at a sandy beach










and
create a sculpture from the sand.








Start with a blank canvas

and take the vision of their mind's eye & paint it in a picture.













The creative genius in a person has always captivated me. I especially admire the artists that are daring enough to make a living at it. It has to be a be a God-given gift to look at a blank canvas, a slab of marble, or an cast-off piece of wood and create something even more beautiful out of it. Or maybe it's just the kid inside who never traded the wonder of  his crayons & coloring books for the more mature things in life.
