Remembering today how Dianne saw the beauty in almost everything in the world around her: especially an old barn

One of a hundred or so photos Dianne took of an old barn near our home

Dianne had the incredible ability to see art and beauty in almost everything in God's wonderful creation.

As I was driving by an old barn near our home today, I remembered how Dianne would often have me stop the car so she could get out and photograph the latest changes in the barn's structure.

Dianne had also had an amazing memory for details of her childhood.  She could remember what color of dress she was wearing and what it looked like when she went for the first day of school in the third grade.  (I cannot remember if I was ever in the third grade!)

I guess this ability comes with being an artist.

Here's a photo of the barn (or what's left of it) that Dianne took last year...

And... finally... here's a photo of one of the fiber art pieces that Dianne made, using the barn photos as reference.  It's entitled "Barn Art I"

Thank you, Dianne, for seeing the beauty and art in the world around you!
