I'm a lil confused at the intent of your thread?
Are you seeking stories which explain scientific epiphany? Like the apple falling on Newton's head and gravity is explained? (Which is not what happened at all)
I had to look up the word 'epiphany', ha, ha
No, I'm not looking for epiphanies.
Impressions that may have influenced our adult years - on the lines of which you may gift some experience to your child.
Crystal's lovely story - a fairy tale she cherished wherein 'waterdrops reflecting rainbows' made an impression - wow!
I am not particularly interested in paintings and therefore the amount of effort that goes into color schemes but after reading her story her paintings dawned on me.
For example, like her 'lady in spring' - in multiple colors, one would not be surprised if there was a fairy tale fawn somewhere; there is not - but the sense of joy / liberation - there's a deer prancing - we have so structured our mind, we don't see it.
Then there's a lady walking through the narrow street - dark blue sky overhung -
be careful lady' I whisper; then she explains it as a moment in time when she was 'heartbroken'
Colors, like music, stir emotions?
She had also painted a unicorn in white – I was not particularly moved by it then - but after her story, I was reminded about Galileo's moon drawing in white and shades. Now I see the unicorn in a different light- shades of white racing across the skies - medieval thinking(?)
Thank you Crystal!

In trying to recall something from my childhood (I didn't find any) - then the rare incident of the cup thrust on me - explained a few things about 'not trying hard, or not competing ' This may appear absurd but it seemed to have worked for me. Happy with the things the way they are
Your question once again jogged my memory. I remember receiving gifts, the best were unintended; like reading the books from my father's shelf.
So what's the intent of this thread?
When we were children, we were sometimes curious; that's creativity. Then the school system knocked it off. As parents, we may do a wee bit better - if we introspect, share, get some new light?
Thanks Tom - I needed the question to clarify to myself
