This original painting is on canvas with acrylic paint, pastel, and some mediums. Since we had knockdown we all experienced a very limited life and it became our new normal. During the difficult time, I learned how important our good spirit and vibes effect in life. I try to get out of depression and gloomy moods. Minimize the selection of the paints red, blue, and white. Following my heart let go of all the negative vibes and expect a bright future. I wish the viewers the same as me.

Kyungsoo Lee’s Out of Blue #1 brings us back down to earth. It centers and grounds the viewer in quotidian beauty. While the cosmos' celestial beauty and cloak of mystery will always attract human attention, we would be foolish to forget the natural beauty of our shared planet. Even in a city—consumed by concrete and metal—plants still spring through cracks in the pavement, and we can still fill our homes with flowers and other colorful reminders of nature. These little instances of beauty (no matter how rare) can instill the same wonder and awe as images of the universe. Sometimes, it is hard to focus on organic beauty, particularly in our ever more distracting world. Ironically, artistic representation is often the best way to focus on the planet it depicts. For many people, it is easier to substantially stare at a painting of flowers than to stare at them in person. Sometimes we need artists’ like lee, to remind us of how to see.
