Clear Indications of Brilliance

L has not yet developed at nuanced taste for theology, so during the sermon she sometimes focuses her attention on other matters, like scribbling and sketching. I would generally reprimand her, but in this case she has displayed so clearly the signs of undeniable brilliance and artistic virtuosity that I am utterly convinced we have a veritable grand master preparing to burst forth at any time. I'm sorry to say that her burgeoning talent my soon cause us all to reassess our opinions of the reigning paragons of Western art.

• Rembrandt? Hack!
  
• da Vinci? Hack!
  
• Michelangelo? Hack!
  
• Picasso? Getting closer, but still a hack!
  

Many historical giants will inevitably fall by the wayside when the true prowess of this emergent talent is fully revealed, an artist soon to be so iconic that, rather than go by a single name as seems to be the current fashion among the Illuminati, she will be known far and wide simply by a single letter.

I present you, the annotated works of
