Been a long time since I posted anything here. This is a picture I painted today of roses from our garden.
I'm making a painting for each month of this year of flowers picked from the garden.
I'm also writing/drawing daily about my childhood and my children's early lives - I like the way different memories pop up, partly because of family anniversaries and seasonal reminders, but also because of my ever changing personal preoccupations - I am allowing myself to write whatever comes to mind - I hope to find some patterns later and expect it to fall neatly into chapters when I analyse it at the end of the year!
Here is a picture of a pull string strawberry music box that our daughter Bronwen played with when she was a toddler. She could hum the song before she could talk: the verse of "It's a Small World" by the Sherman Brothers. I have no idea what happened to it - it was very popular in 1983.
