“I have always believed that whatever good or bad fortune may
come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into
something of value.”
– Hermann Hesse
They Look So Innocent When They Sleep
Quickie 4″ x 6″ Watercolor & Sharpie
This is a 15 minute quickie that I did this morning of Lin’s (Old
Rock Chick at WetCanvas’) cat, Dave. I have painted Dave so many times
over the last 5 years. I didn’t have much time this morning, but I
couldn’t pass up his innocence.
Have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!
About Hermann Hesse
Hermann Hesse, the Pulitzer Prize–winning German writer, became
extremely popular in the 1960′s and 1970′s for his deeply spiritual
novels spiked with Eastern philosophy. He is best known for the novels
Siddhartha, The Glass Bead Game, and Steppenwolf. He was born in 1877 in
Germany and immigrated to Switzerland in 1912. Hesse was exposed to
Eastern thought from childhood: His grandfather taught Indian studies,
and his mother had been born in India. He won the Noble Prize in
Literature in 1946. He died in 1962.
