I was thinking about Andrew Wyeth the other day. His paintings have been a source of wonder and amazement. How can you achieve such detail, dimension and clarity with watercolors?? Many of his pieces have photographic qualities.

I get drawn into his work, almost into the scene as if it's real. "Wind from the sea" is one of my favorites. If you spend time with it, you can almost feel the breeze, smell the ocean air and hear the lull of the distant waves.

Much of life passes us by with little attention.
Andrew Wyeth caught ordinary moments, creating extraordinary experiences.
He passed away today at age 91.

1 John 1:1-4 speaks of experiencing Christ's love, grace and mercy with all 5 senses. My goal this weekend is to be intentional about experiencing everyday life in an extraordinary way - using all 5 senses.
