This is my big sister and me. The original black and white photo has browned and discoloured over time, even turning silver-blue in places - like on our hands and feet. I was intrigued - so I painted the frame as well - on the right hand side amidst my colour testing. Painting this really cheered me up. It made me hold good memories of my late sister - and to think of distances travelled and what they meant. I guess we're all here because of other people's kindnesses. But I easily forget that when I'm feeling sorry for myself. |
