The masterpiece.
Do you remember that show? It was one of those seminary
movies (seminary is an LDS class for youth often taken in the morning) . It was
about a dying girl who said she would not live longer then the winter struck
leafy vine outside her window. And the elderly artist upstairs saw the night
the leaf died and fell so he went out into the winter night and painted a leaf
onto the wall, it was so lifelike that the girl
(who spent her entire day looking out the window at that vine) could not
tell that it was just a painting, She was so excited that the leaf withstood
the winter and felt that she could too. The painter saved her life- I always cry
at the end because it’s so sweet; and then cry some more because (of course)
the elderly painter died (probably from age and exposure-you know standing on a
ladder at night in the winter to paint).
I thought about the beautiful influence art can have.
*Sigh* -I think we should all pause right here and picture a
great work of art
… Go ahead….. Think of something….. or if you cant come up
with anything google The Last Supper
by Divinci or something……Got it?
Okay great. I Hope that gave you an uplifting moment.
My kids and I painted this morning and I am sure that the
art they made is a masterpiece –at least to me, their mother.
Happy Friday-before-Mother’s Day to everyone.
