Art and sports really do go together! To take a quote from an "artist statement"
I had to submit one time (they have a way of being rather 'navel contemplative'),
I wrote "...what could be more appropriate! The legacy of classical Greek art,
which to this day inspires us, was to find glory in depicting what was most beautiful
and perfect in creation; the human form honed by an athlete." What I really want
to do is make a lot of people smile while bringing the appreciation of beauty,
that being what art should be, back into their lives.
