“Honesty is the fastest way to prevent a mistake from turning into a failure.”

~ James Altucher

Or,

“Mistakes can be unrecognizable gateways to entirely new concepts and ideas.”

~Bobby Kountz

Example: 3M’s “failed” glue experiment... Led to the Post-It note...

Note the timeline from “accidental discovery” to application and an ultimate place in the Inventor’s Hall of Fame... “12 Years an Idea.”

Ha-ha! You need more “color-challenged” readers. Perhaps if a chicken egg hadn’t appeared the brown would have been detectable? One paintist’s trash is another’s treasure?😊

For all I knew this was the team’s first foray into pointillism painting? This viewer can’t imagine the methodical patience employed by the great artists like Georges Seurat. Just a few more dots and you would have been done. 😂

I thank the brush and paper crew for modeling honesty, which polishes humility and courage. My instinct would have been to imitate Jackson Pollock with some wholesale paint flinging. 😔 It made him famous! That technique was named “action painting.” I feel certain Tal could pull that off with a flourish. 😬

Muses, I think that it's pretty. It just shouts springtime and Easter.

Well, *I* think the illustration is (was?) fine! Why can't Easter eggs be brown? Is that a rule? Or more of a guideline?
