A customer and friend took her parents to see Twelve Years when they were approaching 90 yo. As they were leaving the theater, Richard observed, “No wonder they are so mad!” Awareness is a good first step.
Not surprised as that’s probably how the 12 year post-it-note journey aligned in my memory bank. Their idea was not exactly 12 years a slave, but it lends to the concept…
Interestingly enough, I think most ideas end up “12 years in the grave” instead!
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. 😬

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.”

3M is close to 3mm!
Thanks Bobby!
Here’s something odd (surprise). Your writing “Twelve Years An Idea” immediately triggered recall in my noggin of “A Slave.” Pondering to follow.
That movie shook me to my core.

Georges work is mighty fine!
Believe me… there are splatters in table and floor. And yet, I’m no Jackson. 😂
I like your double entendre, fine. 👍😉
Muses, I think that it's pretty. It just shouts springtime and Easter.
Thank you Pennie!
There is a "new to us" painting inspiration popping in our IG feed -- lots of florals. She posts reels of her technique which scream -- "Try this!"
Here's her profile link if you are interested:

Well, *I* think the illustration is (was?) fine! Why can't Easter eggs be brown? Is that a rule? Or more of a guideline?
It started as a yellow tulip. 🤷🏻♀️
Some of the most beautiful eggs I have ever seen come from hobby farm chickens -- speckled shells of tan, brown, and sea foam green.
Wow! Okay, *those* it would be a shame to decorate.
