Oh, Day 12 has arrived. What a joyous thing! You've been working hard, and I want you to take a minute and think about all you have done. Amazing, isn't it. It's so satisfying -- that little stack of completed stuff. I hope you take a minute and pat yourself on the back. Being kind to yourself is oh so important to have a successful journey.

Today's high five comes from the catalogue of Georges-Pierre Seurat, a working-hard-on-the-art five. 
The thing that I love about Seurat is his ability to understand the emotion of light. I just have no other words for it. On these fall days, I see the warm hued-light that bathes the whole world in enchanted glow. Seurat and his dots capture that light. He just figured out how to pour living light onto a page.
I'm telling you now. I've never seen a photograph that can capture whatever it is that Seurat got on to his canvases. When I've seen his work, I've had to quickly review why I didn't become an international art thief. Uh, I'm clumsy, I've moral inflexibility, I'm a rotten liar, and I've an extreme dislike of alarm noises. But for these small obstacles, I'd be snatching original Seurats left and right. I'd so do it, man.
So this brings me to the big thought of the day, you have a unique perspective. You have a specific harmony of skill that no other person has. Bring that genius out of the nether reaches of your thoughts, your heart, and splash that stuff all over some pages. Be brave.
That's your cup of java for the day. I will be back tomorrow with some more of the piping hot stuff. Time keeps slipping into the future. I'll meet you there.
Originality depends only on the character of the drawing and the vision peculiar to each artist. Georges Seurat
Molly,
Thanks for the light you're bringing us every day with the Golden Coffee Cup!
The line:
You have a specific harmony of skill that no other person has.
Was just what I needed to hear today.
I love that!
Thank you, gals. I hope things are humming! Snap! Snap! Snap!
I think you just gave me an idea for what I can do for part time work...
Tell you what. You let me store the stolen Seurats in your secret shed and I will surely share some of the silver schillings.
Deal?
