The Story Behind ‘Musings of a Masterpiece’

We’ve all heard the stories: a woman unexpectedly finds a priceless work of art in a second-hand store, a family had no idea their grandmother’s furniture was worth a fortune, and he was down to his last $10 when he sold a garage sale knick-knack for untold millions, etc. 

Thomas Adamson (of The Associated Press) wrote of one such occurrence in an article titled, “French woman didn’t realize she owned a masterpiece — it just sold for almost $35M” for Global News. 

I read his article and was instantly inspired to write Musings of a Masterpiece. 

You’d think it was the financial windfall that inspired me, but it wasn’t. 

I asked myself: If a masterpiece painted centuries ago was aware, what would it think of life? What would it want us to know?  

I hope that you enjoy reading Musings of a Masterpiece. It is one of my favourite works. (And if you happen to know Thomas Adamson, kindly send him this link.)

It’s A Go!
