it's that time again...

everyone has a favorite book...mine, as most of you know, is irving stones' "the agony and the ecstasy"...for the last five years, i have made it an annual event to engage in the lengthy story of the life of michelangelo...stone portrays such vivid things with his articulate vocabulary and i am not even 30 pages in and i wanted to present the world with a chance to swim in this thought:

"the most perfect guide is nature...continue without fail to draw something every day"

the passion with which michelangelo lives his life- from an early age on to his later years- is something that resonates within me...if what stone writes is even remotely close to the truth, for some time now, michelangelo has been my idol...



if i were oprah, i would first comment on the sage's beautiful legs- as would michelangelo- and then add it to the summer reading list...it's a keeper for sure...
