"What he may become"
watercolor 10 x 14
"When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments: tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become."
Louis Pasteur
I'm combining Friday finished works with motivational Monday, because, um. . . I didn't get this done until Saturday :) Sooooo, I'm gonna be quiet for once this Monday and just send you to the best motivational post for all creative type people I've ever read. And it just so happens to be written by one of my all time favorite authors.
Now, if you don't mind my good friends, go check it out right here, and consider your creative butt kicked. :)
