My Aunt Debbie gave me a Monet print several years ago. It is hanging on our bedroom wall -- facing the door -- so it's visible at the top of the stairs.
I was looking at it just now and I wondered if I would be able to "pick it out" if it was placed beside other prints. I think that I would, but I know I would not come up with the name of the painting itself. (And the name -- La Promenade -- is indicated on the print that I have.)
This realization got me thinking about how very unobservant I am. I can look at something everyday but not really "see" it.
There are so many wonderful, beautiful things in the world. It's time that I stopped and looked! I am going to try to notice something new every day from now on.
