Transformation

-
Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, 
others transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Pablo Picasso

Now I do not know the context of this quote, but with as many mediums as Picasso worked in I'm surprised he would limit this statement to just painters.  I smiled when I read this recently  wondering briefly if I had achieved the first or later half of his statement. I honestly had no intention in bringing the sun out from behind the clouds but as I stood in front of the lathe it just seemed to happen. I enjoyed every moment of it and  I guess that's the real sunshine.
