Two images of inspired creativity

First up is "Tributaries of Enlightenment," a painting I did in my mythological narratives class. I don't consider myself a painter, but I like the symmetry and the spontaneity with which this was created. I tried to illustrate the many paths to happiness and truth.


The second creation belongs to nature. Jen went out on the deck this morning and picked up a piece of ice frozen in a large bowl. The shapes in this circle utterly fascinating. To think that a series of random events and subzero temperatures were responsible for this work of art.
