{What I Loved Most: A List}*

Homecoming

  • Talking about Quinacridone Magenta & Paynes Grey
  • Beautiful baby cupcakes that matched my favourite painting
  • Seeing my work through other people's eyes
  • Hearing myself tell the stories behind my paintings
  • Feeling myself stepping out of shyness and into the light of my art
  • Being surrounded by love, and warmth, and support from all the corners of my life
  • Waxing lyrical about my passion for bubble wrap
  • Selling 2 paintings to a complete stranger who turned up right at the beginning especially to buy them
  • Laughing and feeling light
  • Waking up this morning and feeling like I couldn't wait to get started on the next steps

*I love a good list. I know there's a few lovers of lists around the place. I've always been particularly taken with Hula Seventy's list-making. So, you might get to see a few more lists around these parts.
