"Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence." -Author Unknown

Every now and then a quote by an unknown author sneaks into these musings. This quote could be by anybody – even you; so, close your eyes and make believe you’re the author. Do you see your work in terms of a clean palette each day, waiting for your brush stokes to add subject and color? Are you inspired as you approach the work, and do you let your enthusiasm show in your lines?? Is your mind clear yet focused on the subject matter and do you see it all before you begin??? Do you make sure that your creation remains true to your original ideas or do you adapt to the changing light???? And when you’re done are you proud and willing to sign your name with a flourish?????

Today you are like Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Van Gogh and all the other Masters. Your work may start simply and slow – but who knows where it will be tomorrow. Make every brush stroke worthy of the ages.
