Who is this artist?

Have you seen this great piece of performance art? Who is this wonderful person? Every winter after every fresh snow fall these beautiful lines appear on the banks of Minnesota across from the lagoon. They are perfect without footprints. Depending on the time of day, the light gives the lines different shadows and colors. Earlier this year I drove by after a fresh snow and they weren't there. I panicked a bit thinking maybe this mysterious snow artist had moved or lost interest. Maybe, I thought in horror, they think no one notices or cares! I notice, care and LOVE IT!

These are what I like to call 'art attacks'. There you are moving through your day and BAM you see something creative and wonderful. You smile with your mouth agape. You forget about your to-do list and responsibilities and just take it in. You try to think what you could do to make someone else smile and look on in wonder.


Yep, I considered this an 'art attack' as well. Moose are great performance artist. They create art and wonder by just being. Look at this scene! The mountain, the color, the silhouette tree. Wow, if only my paintings could be so good.
I hope your week is filled with 'art attacks'. They remind us that everyday gives us something worth enjoying and remembering. The coldest, bleakest, the world is against me day can change in an instant when we see lines carved into a hillside or a moose posing on a cold winter day. Keep your eyes open, you don't want to miss it!
