Wildcat’s Revelation of Grace—Whether We Like It or Not

A piece of art, completed, represents a long series of choices, from the first choice that artist made to pay attention to the tugging on the edge of his mind to the final daub of paint, deleted comma, or scrape on stone. When we sit down and look closely at an excellent piece of art, every choice should make sense and should be, upon examination, deliberate. Nothing should seem sloppy, haphazard. In a poem, every sound should be chosen; in a painting, every stroke. In a film, every frame should be the result of a careful, even if subconscious, choice.
