Stage and Canvas

In his novel Memory & Dream, Charles de Lint wrote, “Touch magic, pass it on”. Magic takes shape in the numerous varieties of art. I love the arts in all of its morphing forms. It can be beautiful to see or pleasant to hear, or it can be ugly and hard. It has the ability to talk to the mind and spirit. It can make one hold their breath, smile, shudder, question, or discuss.

This blank canvas before me will be more than, “I walked through halls full of Monet, Picasso, and Van Gogh.” I want to share my own thoughts and feelings on the arts, whether visual, musical, or literary. I want to share the magic.
