My Space

9 x 9 inches stretched and painted canvas.

I finished this right before M. moved in with all his stuff. He even brought his Xmas ornaments!

It is a commemoration of the 77 days I was alone. I spent a lot of it in this chair. I did a lot of thinking, a little writing and I even spent an hour watching snails crawl on the patio pottery. It was a time of space and room for contemplation.

I am ready now to live with someone. Though I love periods alone, I don't need to be an island. I always loved having a family home. So it is nice, on this day, to be creating that again, in a new way.
