Flowers for The Man

Late one spring evening, as the homeless slept on the river banks and the raccoons watched from the sewers, a great work of art was done along the Boulder Creek Path. Two artists transformed nearly 80 feet of blank, barren wall into a varying display of inspiration, wonder, and intrigue. One, following the resonant lines of vibration that emanated from her abstract character, while the other working in more vibrant colors, fading from one to the other.

A few days later, a majority of the work had been buffed over, but strangely, one section of wall, designated from the rest, remained alone and untouched. This particular section remained on display for a little over a month and then was finally buffed over a few days before this posting.

The inevitable question remains, why were the flowers not buffed earlier along with the rest of the work? Was there a choice to leave it? To appreciate it? Or was there just a lack of gray paint available? Could it be that someone was moved by this form of art? Could it be that this is actually art?

What is art?
