Four Corners explores the work of artists around the globe.
As long as I can remember, I was looking at things very closely, peering, trying to understand how they fit together. I know that I was drawing tulips with separate petals in kindergarten, with the teacher remarking upon it. The other children drew the standard saw edged tulip form, but I just saw that was wrong.

Some things to try:
Pick a natural( or manmade) object- a gnarled stick, a seed, a flower, an leaf- and really study it. See how it is formed, to the smallest detail. Look at the shadow play of leaves on a surface, squint your eyes, and try to see all the faces and strange images that seem to form.
Pick up a painting or photo, and hold it up in front of the mirror, see if you can notice anything different you hadn't noticed before.
Make a random scribble then try to turn it into something.
Take the time to stop and really look at anything that delights your eye, try to see something new about it.
Taking a walk with someone using artist’s eye can be quite a drag for a partner, we dawdle most seriously.

My heroes now are not the kind that come on any pedestal, but rather anyone I meet that has the courage to be truly different and to scream their songs, however that may happen.
