Today I pulled one of my favorite books* from the shelf, and spent the morning musing about the Seurat drawings I'd seen as a teen. I was living with my grandmother in San Francisco and had just started art school. That exhibit of mysterious black Conte drawings changed my life, expanded my perspective on art and its imaginative possibilities! I realized then I must become more serious in my studies and commitment to art as a vocation, as a calling. Ah, to be 15 again . . .
