Amédée-David, the Comte de Pastoret Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (French, 1780-1867)1934

 

What detail surprises you in this painting?

 

Mary noticed how stern and serious his expression is.

 

Sheelagh noticed how his head looks a bit too big for his upper body.

 

Caitlin noticed his face looks wizened with experience, but his body very lithe and youthful. 

 

Y spotted a look of mild contempt.

 

And Carole noted that his fingernails are dirty!

 

To take it a step further, imagine a story around one of those details. For example, what was he doing that made his fingernails dirty? 

 

Thank you to this month's contributors!

 

It sharpens your intuition, which is your brain's ability to focus on spotting exceptions to the system, rather than pattern recognition.

 

Developing this skill enables you to identify emerging possibilities faster than others do.

 

Developing intuition can boost innovation, resilience, life purpose, coaching and leadership ability.
