The Greenbrier Art Invitational
October 25 – November 1, 2015
at The Greenbrier Resort, White Sulphur Springs, WV
We live fast-paced lives, blowing past breathtaking views at 60 MPH. Thoreau sat in his doorway from dawn to dusk, watching the light and shadow move and change. We post a quick iPhone snap shot to Facebook and are on our way. Socrates warned: “Beware of the barrenness of a busy life.” Thankfully we have painters willing to spend the hours that we seemingly don’t have, in front of that view, whether humble or awe-inspiring, investing each brush stroke with years of observation, looking into the depth of the shadows, deciphering the color of a light-drenched moment in life. And we get to take that painting home. At our leisure, we experience the fullness of a farm or a valley we have only found time to drive past.
