Artwork




Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music and literature. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as Aesthetics.






Photos, carvings, etchings, paintings, metalwork, glasswork -
classic and modern,
old and new.






There's something here at Scranberry Coop that will bring a whole new meaning to the word "art" for you.

Something just for you.













Come stroll the aisles of Scranberry Coop.
See the many pieces of art, the many artists whose visions have been offered here.

See the world in a different way.

Angels

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. ~Michelangelo



The Angels were all singing out of tune,
And hoarse with having little else to do,
Excepting to wind up the sun and moon
Or curb a runaway young star or two.
~Lord Byron





The reason angels can fly is because they take themselves lightly. ~G.K. Chesterton, "Orthodoxy"











When babies look beyond you and giggle, maybe they're seeing angels. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994

Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "Evangeline"





Music is well said to be the speech of angels. ~Thomas Carlyle











Angels can fly because they carry no burdens. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994







Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning. ~Lydia M. Child








Outside the open window
The morning air is all awash with angels.

And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty.

A grave is braced not just by a tombstone but by angels as well. ~Adabella Radici










Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze?
A teardrop in the falling rain?
Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves?
Or been kissed by a lone snowflake?
Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place.
~Carrie Latet






The magnitude of life is overwhelming. Angels are here to help us take it peace by peace. ~Levende Waters








How do the angels get to sleep when the devil leaves the porch light on? ~Tom Waits, "Mr Siegal," Heartattack and Vine






I'm no angel, but I've spread my wings a bit. ~Mae West
