My mother recently complained that she wasn't creative and she was reminded by an artist that her house is her art, the way she keeps it and her gardens is a work of art.

I love to play devil's advocate, but my argument was much like yours. His of course, was to say that only writing which is literary, only art which provokes, is truly art. I say whatever moves you, whatever moves the creator, that is art - as you say, each to his own - though personally, chocolate box images don't do it for me :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.com
