on orange sugar paper
and follow your long curved spine
to your perfect sculpted buttock.
I like your back but
next week I will place my easel
on the other side of the studio.

Small spheres of iridescent prussian blue.
Windsor yellows and greens and strawberry red hue
create sensual experiences of vision and taste
as flavour explodes in my mouth.
Blueberries, strawberries, pineapple and grape.
Bathed in velvety yoghurt.
Breakfast is my most favourite meal.
And the colours call me to my paintbox…
I let go the year
and I turn my face forward
expectantly, so.
Part of time counted in days.
Three hundred and sixty five.
Every day numbered,
measured, timed, and valued well
or maybe squandered.
Days of joy passed quickly by
while the painful ones stretched long.
For the new year born
will consist of single days
the same as others.
And I will live each moment
as if it were the last one.
Interview done.
It is lost or won.
But as Liz said..
I prepared well,
and presented me –
and now we just –
wait and see.
Watch this space:
Seven to ten days.
But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things
~ Vincent Van Gogh
One of the most beautiful things by the painters of the last century has been the painting of darkness that is still colour
~ Vincent Van Gogh (Letter to brother Theo, 1885)
