I love art museums with any kind of art…big or small.
I love to see the abstracts, the portraits, the landscapes hanging on the wall.
I suppose that’s why I love nature so much…
It’s also filled with many kinds of art…big and small.
but nature’s museum is unique…for it has no walls at all
In fact a simple walk in nature…looking around at all its wonders of creation
and you get a good idea where human artists get their inspiration.
From landscapes, sculptures, portraits, trees, flowers, animals- art so realistic…
to when the fog descends and that same world becomes art…impressionistic.
You stop and wonder at all the art and the more you cogitate…
you realize you are walking through what artists only re-create.
Take the paper wasp for instance…they mix wood fibers and plant stems with their instinct, saliva, talent and heart
And not only do they build a nest but…they create a work of art.
If you look at paper wasp nests…you too will come to know
how wasp artists are as creative…as say…Michelangelo .
Some of their nests are impressionistic- like Monet, each a treasured piece
Some are more surreal like Dali…some more abstract like Matisse
Yet paper wasps are only one school of artists in the nature that surrounds…
What’s fun about nature is all the other artist waiting to be found.
What makes nature’s museum unique however…is not only her wide variety..
that she contains every kind of art you want to see
but with no walls…nature’s museum is always open…
and even more amazing…she is always free.
