“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places”

Camille Pissarro

Beautiful things are in humble places. among the discards of the sea, forest and garden. Or the blessing could be something relatively small and beautiful that captures my attention. hidden in the wonder of a sunset, forest or mountain view. Beauty can come from discarded things, such as old papers, fabrics, and bubble wrap, that build depth in a pinting’s backgrounds. Pressed fallen leaves shape stencils. Whether in natural or manmade, small or large, beauty can be found. Perhaps it is not seen by others in its natural state. It is we that find it that brings its beauty to others.‍
