Why Your Creative Work Could Mean More Than You Know
Your artwork just might change someone’s life
The old gentleman knew that more years were chasing him than remained. His beloved Betty had passed away last December. It was awful.
He awoke that chilly winter morning and found her in his art studio, on the floor. A teacup shattered beside her frail body. And in her left hand, his recent painting of daffodils.
It comforted him immensely. That in her final moments, she had picked up his little flower painting. Betty loved the garden and especially daffodils.
“They don’t ask anything of nobody. You just put them in the ground. In decent soil. Then let them do their thing.” He could still hear her lyrical voice saying that.
“I love their brilliant yellow. They look like a cup and saucer. So up-lifting. So full of promise and renewal, don’t you think?” He smiled at the memory of that. “Yes, Betty, I do think you’re right,” he said to himself. “It’s why I painted the daffodils for you.”
