[MD] Art to me is....

[MarshaV]

Hello again Alro,

The images I care most about do not offer a precise meaning.  They leave it to the viewer to seek it.  They beckon one into a labyrinth of every-changing discovery.  Vechegan Narazyan is one of my favorite living painters.  This kind of magic is probably true with song lyrics too.  Hotel California, by the Eagles, still gets my mind Tiffany-twisted.  Classical music, sans vocals, is perfect for creative adventure.  

I'm not sure about essays.
