Forfeit the Beauty

[BLAND - IV]

Have you ever listened to a painter talk about the color choice of the sky?

Have you ever heard an interior designer expound on the principles of light when it comes window orientation?

Have you ever listened to an impassioned graphic designer share their thoughts on the curvature of the logo?

Have you ever sat at the foot of a poet and taken in their rationale for word choice in the second line of the third stanza?

There is always more going on than an untrained eye can see. Beauty is not happenstance. Art is never lucky. It is intentional. And hard work.

If we skip the work, we forfeit the beauty.
