Hi Rick
I see that you posted a blog that has similar themes going through it as a few I have been posting. You state that "Are we not imposing beauty onto this thing?" Yes, of course we are but isn't that one of the qualities that I, as a professional artist, am supposed to be an expert in. The idea of beauty is not as abstract as all that. For some reason several comments have been eliminated from this post but here is one with a link to a wonderful BBC show that discusses beauty in art.
Hey Sharon,
I know I already commented your similar post earlier on your blog but I was going to come back to comment again when I saw the recent BBC U TUBE video by Roger Scruton being shared on FB called "Why Beauty Matters". It reminded me of your original post and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
Perhaps you saw it too??

You both highlight important points.
