Paintings, photography, aesthetic objects, beautiful communication, and anything I consider to be art, artful, artistic, artsy or whatever.
Art is subjective. It is a quality of communication can be contributed to by the viewer through empathy or agreement with its creator.

CREATURES OF NATURE

CREATURES OF NATURE3Equality is an idea that individual members of a mass of beings have equal rights to action, self-possession and thought.
Aristocracy is the unchallengable right of power, control and possession of an entitled few over subservient individuals.
In nature these ideas are pre-programmed into the essence and behavior of every living creature, according to their nature.
Humans beings are creatures of nature.

DEMENTED

~ Roman proverb ~

“demented” is from the Latin word:  demens ‘out of one’s mind‘.

The ancient Roman mosaic shows a Satyr and Nymph, borrowed from Greek Mythology of Pan. The mosaic tile image was excavated from the ruins of The House of the Faun (Italian: Casa del Fauno), which built during the 2nd century BC. The villa was covered in the ash of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD.  The mountain is still a very volatile volcano.  Sexual love, like a volcano, could be said to be as potentially devastating as a volcanic eruption.
