I just love the online conversations I have with DUers about their own interaction with art.

You wouldn't believe how many art blogs there are out there in cyberspace. I run into them by accident and when I first started to encounter them I would bookmark them. It got to where I had to stop because I was losing track of which was which. People blog about their own experiences with art and speak from their hearts about them. I find them gentle places to be. I want my little Friday challenge to be a "gentle place" here on DU...
