Is This Leonardo I See Before Me
William A. Pannapacker, Ph.D – Associate Professor of English at Hope College wrote:-
If there is one conclusion to be drawn from the life of Leonardo, it is that procrastination reveals the things at which we are most gifted – the things we truly want to do. Procrastination is a calling away from something that we do against our desires toward something that we do for pleasure, in that joyful state of self-forgetful inspiration that we call genius.
This humble painting I dedicate to Leonardo, someone I admire greatly.

I see a very young Leo here with a smile as he gazes into the future,
really love the quote, as it reminds me of something very important
that I am doing at present x

Ena Lu! I’m so glad you see him! I have been painting seriously for a few days now and feel quite tired. I could see him, but sometimes feel that it could be just me seeing him. Good to have confirmation for at least one other person! I’m glad the quote from Pannapacker inspires you….that’s why I do this work! Sending you a big hug! Good to know that you are working! Thinking of you!Sx

Very well put, Sophie. This is a wonderful image. I see a journey, perhaps it is what we can recognize as procastination. It is what I am very good at. lol

A brilliant tribute to a man of multi-dimensions. I love the colors and textures
