I just realized that I titled my last post "art and beauty", but didn't mention anything about beauty. So, here is what I meant to write in my last post:
Beauty can be merely eye candy or beauty can grab ahold of us an force us to stare, while we feel special just being in the presence of such splendor. It is the latter that can be truly considered art. Not to say that only beautiful things are art, but beauty catches our eye and can evoke tremendous feeling. Which means that mother nature can be the most accomplished artist of all; I don't consider the air-brushed photos of gorgeous women in "Playboy" to be artistic photography, but when I watch deer eating in my backyard during the first light of morning, I am exalted. So, we can create art manually or find it in nature. Often, we imitate nature to create beautiful art.

About Me
- Cassie
- Hello everyone! I'm Cassandra McCarthy, but you can call me Cassie or Kathy or Casey or whatever you want, really. I am 27 years old and I have lived in Canton for 25 of those years. I have two gorgeous, brilliant children- Alaina, 6 and Jack, 3. I work as a secretary for a local business as well as attend SUNY Canton. This is, hopefully, my last semester here- I plan to transfer to Potsdam after I get my Liberal Arts degree at the end of this semester. Eventually, I would like to become a high school social studies or english teacher. I haven't quite settled on one yet. I love to write, but usually just for myself; I'm not used to sharing my work, but it will be good for me. I also enjoy reading immensely- historical fiction and non-fiction are my addictions. Beyond those interests, I like to sketch, watch movies, travel, hike, study astrology and alternative medicines and watch the History Channel and History International obsessively.

Isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder? Which makes art in the eye of the beholder also? The same thing you see in deer eating in the first light of morning someone else sees in a naked woman in “Playboy”. When we watched that dove add I didn’t think she was that pretty. When she had all her make-up done but before she got a long neck and raccoon eyes I thought she the most pretty, but not very pretty. I think the most beautiful thing in the world is a true smile. No make-up, lights, camera, or action just a great joyous smile.
