Beauty

I've seen the following videos before but have returned to watch them again as I truly agree with what Scott says. The following video's were created by Scott Burdick and they have taught me some very interesting things  about what is going on in the Art world and has been going on for some time.

Here's a link to Scott's Youtube channel.There are 4 videos watch all 4 of them.
