Often, during the course of the year, if James says something in class that seems particularly wise and insightful I quietly write it down. As part of our holiday tradition we then share those insights when we present James with a small token of our appreciation for being a wonderful teacher to each and every one of us.
Today, I thought I would seek my encouragement from James himself and I went to the well for inspiration. While these sayings were meant to apply as painting instruction, they also have much broader meaning. As James winds his way to recovery I hope he finds strength and guidance in his very own words...

Even in shadow there is light
To be an artist is to be human
There is a little bit of graying in everything
There’s always a way back home.
With love, Cheryl
