I think my desk looks pretty clean, all things considered.
Okay…so this isn’t my desk. This is a painting by Edwaert Colyer from around 1696. It was a style of painting called trompe l’oiel. It is a painting that, in closer study, reveals the fleeting nature of power. At least that is what the little sign next to the painting said.
I think it is about obsessive organization and detail. I took this picture while visiting the Indianapolis Museum of Art with my bride of 24 years on Sunday.
I bring it to you today because this was one of those days when I felt anything BUT organized or detailed. This was a day that started very early and ended rather late. I never really had a good grasp on anything that was happening during my day but I flowed with it, all the same.
