While growing up, I often had the opportunity to watch a relative draw and paint beautiful characters and scenes. He had a talent and an eye for line, space, color, and light. And to please me, he would draw a Disney cartoon character at my request.
I loved watching him draw a line, erase a little and adjust it, put in a tree, then take it out, over and over. Effectively, he was “pruning” his artwork, adjusting it to his mental eye, until his piece was finished.
Often these experiences with that relative come to mind, because now I understand that his pruning or adjusting of the artwork, until the model in his thought came forth, points to lessons about healing in Christian Science.
