This painting has been many years in making and is close to being finished. I worked on it yesterday and was going to get more done on it today but early in the morning my email pinged to tell me we are now officially divorced and that’s knocked me a bit. Which is strange because it seemed like the least Biggest Deal out of everything he and I have been through together – but you never know how you’re going to feel until it happens.

We have our beautiful daughter and we have our friendship.

So this painting has formed and developed alongside of all of the things that have happened over the past few years. I don’t really have any more words for today and I suspect I won’t be getting much drawing done either, but it’s good to just give it a go!

Everything else can wait for another day.
