Your greatest work of art...

Norman Rockwell's classic Self-Portrait 


What strikes me is the fact 
that in our society, art has become something which is only related 
to objects, and not to individuals, or to life... 

But couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? 

Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not your life?
 
Michael Foucault, 1926-1984
French Philosopher and Sociologist

So if you did your own self-portrait, exactly what would you see?  What features would you highlight?

But here is the question:  if you could paint the interior, the virtues of your spirit--then what would you depict?  Ah!  that's God's masterpiece!
