About the Cover
In 1885, Vincent Van Gogh created this cover drawing, Man with Hoe, as a
part of his life-long pursuit “to give happiness by creating beauty.” We at The
Domino Project were drawn to this image because it represents the quiet
strength of a person who actually does the work, regardless of glamour or
crowds or the resistance. The drawing is also a reminder that there’s an artist
within each of us, and we must encourage that artist to do the work, to make
something that matters, regardless of anything else that is going on.
In a letter to his brother Theo, Vincent shared this thought, “Blessed is he
who has found his work.”
Perhaps he was talking about you.
