a work in progress

Each time I finish a new little peepeyed critter and place it on the table in front of me, I say something nice to it, as if it were my pet or child. I peer into it’s big round eyes and I immediately fall in love. It feels good all over and so I quickly make another. The cute syndrome works me over. For additional stimulation of my cute sensors, I reqularly visit CuteOverload.com . Tonight I noticed this article
NOW Magazine - The Goods in Toronto, FEBRUARY 23 - MARCH 1, 2006 on their site, in which Elizabeth Bromstein asks experts about her addiction to all things cute and finds that cute is good for your health. Cute isn’t the only way to create calm. According to animal communicator, Sheila Trecartin, “Beautiful things, in contrast, make us happy in and of themselves. Beauty can actually remove us from our desires, taking us beyond our personal wants and calming the spirit.”
And I think that is the best reason for people to surround themselves with beautiful artwork.
