Artistic expression is one of the showpieces of the human experience.
Whatever the medium, it causes other humans to think; question accepted norms; contrast and compare; even encourages others to attempt something different in their own chosen field of artistic expression based on what inspired them.
And it's not just limited to the obvious !
A friend who is partially sighted always wanted to go to The Chelsea Flower Show and for any number of reasons it didn't happen for a long time.
When her husband eventually took her he sent me a text message with video of this day and the expression on her face as she picked up on the scent of different blooms as they were wandering around.... unlike anything I'd ever seen !
