Seems to me that artists have a different kind of courage. With each work a journey begins, never knowing for sure where the journey will end.

Following are a couple of older illustrations.

"A Blessing Given is a Blessing Received"

"It was the Zinnia blooms that lured him up, then over.
Two insecure but determined steps before he plopped down on his padded seat.
Consumed with the flower, he didn't realize he had just taken his first steps."

"Art is...like a footprint which shows that one has walked bravely and in great happiness." --Robert Henri
