In Praise of a Job Well Done

Perhaps its because its such a beautiful, sunny, late winter day outside my window that I am so taken by this lovely 1963 illustration from The Reader's Digest Treasury for Young Readers...


...or perhaps its because my own work often requires me to draw typical family-type situations, like eating breakfast together, that I can relate to the nature of the assignment this artist was asked to interpret.


Whatever the case, I just felt like singing the praises of the anonymous illustrator who did such an amazing job of taking the mundane and making it into something remarkable.

You see, the rewards are many for those who are willing to pause from their own hectic lives for a moment and explore the delightful details in this quiet illustration...









Not every piece of art needs to make a statement... to save the world... to challenge our beliefs or test the limits of acceptability. Sometimes an artist can make the ordinary really quite extraordinary through quiet contemplation, observation and interpretation.

Here's kudos to a job well done.
