"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." - Pablo Picasso

There's been a lot soul washing in my studio lately, as witnessed by these beautiful works of art by my fabulous students!  

You might recognize a few Van Gogh paintings below.  I have a number of students who have been studying his works and finding a beautiful freedom in rendering his work.  One of my students told me this past week that after she painted a Van Gogh, she felt like she had been set free!  Those words were music to my ears!

                                           THE CAPACITY FOR ASTONISHMENT

Martin Glaser, a legendary New York graphic designer famous for creating the ‘I Love New York’ logo, recently spoke about something that’s dear to my heart.  He said, “If you can sustain your interest in what you’re doing, you’re an extremely fortunate person.  What you see very frequently in people’s professional lives, and perhaps in their emotional life as well, is that they lose interest in the third act.  You sort of get tired, and indifferent, and sometimes, defensive and you kind of lose your capacity for astonishment, and that’s a great loss, because the world is a very astonishing place.”

I guess you’d say I’m in the third act of my life.  I still find wonder in observing nature, seeing the cloud formations before a storm, and getting up early to watch the sun rise over the misty waters of the Chattahoochee River.

The overflow of being astonished with life is expressed through my art, my friendships, and the general way that I conduct my business.

I agree with Martin Glaser, the world is a very astonishing place! - Jill Saur
