every pain, every suffering, joy, and confusion."

From the awesome and inspiring Addison Street Art Walk comes "Expanse" By Carolyn Haydu. With this piece, the artist reminds us of the great contrast of the sky verses the concrete beneath our feet. I know when I begin to feel the stifling feeling of living in a big city, I usually look up and study the sky and look for shapes in the clouds. I love this piece, and drive by it from time to time, just to remind myself that I absolutely can find the art, because it's all around me, even in the sky!

Art About Town: Berkeley... "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" On Addison!

"The most important thing is to enjoy your life... to be happy... it's all that matters."

~Audrey Hepburn

In previous entry, I brought you a poem from the Addison street poetry panels, and it was a great poem, but the poetry panels are not all that amazing street has going for it. In fact, there are different kinds of works of art all along the street, including historical panels, mosaics, and the art that is the Berkeley Repertory Theatre! I love walking along the street, and taking it all in! The two pictures featured in this blog post, are among the wonderful, inspiring works of art. In case you don't recognize the words, they are from the marvelous song, "Oh What A Beautiful Morning," from Rodgers and Hammerstein's, Oklahoma! There is no way to walk along Addison and remain in a bad mood. In fact, I dare you not to burst into song! LOL.
