Moving to Victoria has had significant challenges and has impacted severely on my ability to paint. I miss my "art family", they were a source of delight and like mindedness. I have not found a group to compare and I am sure they will sing in my soul forever.
I have realised that as an artist I am quite sensitive and under duress the part of me which is delicate folds in on itself. It is a challenge to protect this delicacy in us all and to remember to protect it in others. Blessings Q
