One of my favorite things is to show and share my One of my favorite things is to show and share my art. It’s always such an honor to be invited into beautiful homes filled with love and good people to give them options of my paintings. We get to talk about what it means to them and how their way of living is enlivened by the art they buy and live with. An art buyer shared with me recently they didn’t think that buying original art was within reach until a friend suggested it to them. And then they bought art. I get it. Most people think that buying or collecting original art is for the elite, uber-wealthy, or similar. It’s not or, at least, it shouldn’t be. Art heals the soul, beautifies your world, enlivens your surroundings and much more. And when you buy art that speaks to you, it becomes personal. When you buy art from someone you know or get to know, then the personal connection to it deepens. I always feel like I’m being invited into their everyday world. I love knowing that my art touches them, speaks to them, and improves their world. Living with everyday beauty, is the real value of art. Everyone deserves that. Here’s a few pics from the weekend. Take a peek at my recent works and what’s behind “Primal Aesthesis” here: https://stevenmorris.gallery/portfolio/stevenmorris-primal-aesthesis-2022/ . . . . #artcollector #interiordesign #interiordecor @dwellmagazine @dwellondesign @dwell_shop @archdigest @ad_magazine @artsandiego_ @moca @modernart @abstractsonfire @abstractpainters #minimalandcontemporary #fineart #fineartpainting @adelmanfineart

Details, details, #details. “Start Close In” Details, details, #details. “Start Close In” By @davidjwhyte Start close in, don’t take the second step or the third, start with the first thing close in, the step you don’t want to take. Start with the ground you know, the pale ground beneath your feet, your own way of starting the conversation. Start with your own question, give up on other people’s questions, don’t let them smother something simple. To find another’s voice, follow your own voice, wait until that voice becomes a private ear listening to another. Start right now take a small step you can call your own don’t follow someone else’s heroics, be humble and focused, start close in, don’t mistake that other for your own. . . . . . . . . #details #ardetails #closeup #lifecloseup #poetryunbound #davidwhye #davidwhytepoetry #poetry #poeticsouls #sandiegoart #sandiegoartist #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #fineart

Being a maker, a crafts-person, an artist or an en Being a maker, a crafts-person, an artist or an entrepreneur is a natural and innate human activity. We’re born to make and create. It’s among the most valuable things we can do with our finite time on this planet. We are made to make things that endure, that influence people, that make people’s lives better. The work isn’t about pretty, or precious. It’s about making change. The kind of change that builds on itself through the process of renewal, regeneration and collaboration with others and natural materials. It all starts with good raw material and clear intent. My goal isn’t to make change for the sake of change, it’s to make the kind of change that improves the world of the people I work with. I suspect that’s true for you, too.

The things in like that capture our attention and imagination is private and intimate. I’m always amazed that you never meet a human — you meet humans looking for all kinds of things, and you never meet a human and you say to them, What are you looking for? And they say, I’m looking for yesterday; where did yesterday go to? We just take it that it goes into nothingness. And that’s on one side. The other thing, of course, is that we have no idea what will land on the shoreline of morning tomorrow, so that we are always actively involved in receiving and shaping. So go ahead, love what you love, desire who and what you desire, embrace what you are called to. Become magnetized to what speaks to you. Answer the calling of your life. . . . . . . . . #fineart #contemporaryart #minimalism #minimalistart #simplicity #simpleliving #modernart #artcollector @artsandiego_ @sandiegomuseumofart @stevenmorris_artlife @call.forart @call_for_artists @dividemag @artistopportunities @call.for.artists @art @dorlandmountainarts #beautifullife #callforart #sandiegoartist #sandiegoart

Primal Spirituality is the understanding that we cannot think ourselves into happiness, fulfillment, and wholeness. And that the real human journey is centered on evolving, learning, growing, and personal development that requires a nourishing of the soul and activation of the human spirit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #spirituality #primalspirituality #abstractminimalism #minimalabstract @abstractpainters @sandiegoartinstitute @artsandiego_ @artsandiego @sandiegomuseumofart @call.forart @call_for_artists @dividemag @call.for.artists @galleryone962 @gallerikonstlobbyn @hivegallery @galleriesnow @searspeytongallery #fineart #artcollector @contemporaryartcollectors @art.collector @artcollectorcommunity #contemporaryart #modernartist @sparksgallery @dorlandmountainarts @todaysartreport
