White, a blank page or canvas The challenge: To bring order to the whole Through design, Composition, Balance, Light, And harmony. "Sunday In The Park With George" by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim. And I got to play George. George Seurat. But, ahm, I knew nothing about painting. So Carol, my wife, and I went off to Paris to the Musée d'Orsay to find his paintings. We turned up at this, eh, amazing building, and, eh, we went in and - Look, if you come from where I come from you would never expect to see these things in a whole lifetime. And there they were, things you'd only ever seen in books. So... Cezannes and... waterlilies... that Monet fellow... And, eh... and Degas... and, eh... Toulouse-Lautrecs and Van Goghs, and, eh... And then there was this one painting... a Seurat... Look, it's made of a sort of dots... Thousands, millions of dots... And then - I got the score! Talk about dots... Oh, so much to learn! And I have to learn to paint Paint sticks, paint dogs... Sorry, darling?... A baby?! When? How long?... But I've gotta paint hats! More red... Me, a father... And a little more red...
