Art making is a childlike affair. It is aided first and always by wonder, childlike wonder. Wonder at the leaf’s color, the odd rock, the feel of surfaces, the found feather, fire, snow, and wild night sounds. All great art is a reaction to these wonders. It is altar-making. It is the sense of the Ancient, knowing there is a behind the veil, the delight of seeing there, then sitting down and willing taking off our shoes. It is an ever-increasing gratefulness, that is the making, our creations for our Father, our delicate and sincere garlands for his eternal kingdoms.
