Original artwork description
The portrait “Eat That Frog” is a vibrant, motivational mandate aimed at young ambition and the necessity of decisive action. The child, rendered with an intense, knowing gaze, stands near a brass bell—a symbol of urgency or a call to action. The phrase “DO BETTER” reinforces the uncompromising message that success demands immediate, necessary effort without the luxury of overthinking.
This painting speaks directly to the need for relentless self-improvement and the refusal to settle for mediocrity. It serves as a reminder that the most challenging tasks, the “frogs,” must be tackled first to clear the path for growth. “Eat That Frog” is a powerful affirmation that the boy child must never stop and never settle, but must take every required step to achieve greatness.
