NAMESAKE OF THE BLOG!

The title "Motifs With a Lemon Twist" came out of the unique relationship I have with art as well as with the word 'motif'.
Growing up in suburbia,  'art' was something that was kind of an 'extra' and non-vital activity as compared to sports and math and the like.  The movie Beverly Hills Cop only further set this image I had of art in my mind.  In this scene the art seems disconnected from reality and only for  high class people.  This scene was so funny to my friends and I that I perfected the accent of this man "Serge" and would put it on any time things like 'motifs' and other kinds of artsy things were being discussed.  
I still think its funny but my relationship with art has changed a lot since then.  And I don't talk like Serge any more when discussing art.  Well sometimes I do.  But anyway...  the idea of my blog is to show how art can be an every day thing.  Enjoy Serge for now.
