Painting With Words

"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see."

Edgar Degas

Whether we write flowery prose or poetry, 

novels, articles, blog posts, or a little of each, 

I believe we paint word pictures. 

We make others see with a writer's paintbrush, 

stirring their minds through creative thoughts and images.

Happy Memorial Day to my U.S. friends!

For those who have served or currently serve in the military,

thank you for your sacrifice on our behalf.

What work of art are you creating this week?

Happy writing,

Word Painting

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.

Edgar Degas

Whether we write flowery prose or poetry,

novels, client copy, articles, blog posts,

or all of the above,

I believe we paint pictures.

We "make others see"

whether we feel our words are art-worthy

or not.

Indeed. We create.

Stirring the reader's mind

through thoughts and images.

Placed there with our paintbrush.


What work of art are you creating this week?
