G.K. Chesterton wrote, “Art is limitation; the essence of every picture is the frame."
This is surely true.
On the other hand, Arthur Koestler reminds us that the real action takes place outside the frame. He urges us to "catch a glimpse of eternity through the window of time."
This is surely true as well.

| Malcolm McKesson |
These feet at the edge of the drawing may be a slightly unorthodox composition but they are a useful and fun way to imply a larger reality beyond the frame.

In 2014, may your eye frame the world so that you are able to focus on the the things that are important and worthy of attention, but never forget the larger realities waiting beyond the frame.
