Fifty! I personally can’t wait to be fifty…I’m eager for the clocks to roll forward and thankfully time is spinning ahead. My son turns 20 this year, my aunt just got married at 67 to her gorgeous 70 year old beau… I’m eager for years to roll on but I’m waiting with baited breath to turn 50!
Spontaneity is the watchword that informs my art practice. My artwork celebrates the energy of abstract expressionism.
'why not?' underlines my creative process. Forget the box! Its obsolete...it's all about whatever shape you want to throw on that dance floor! The process drives my practice!! For me, work well done is work I have thoroughly enjoyed making...work that has made me think, sweat, cry, scream and come back for more!!! Work that gets my back up; pushes me...gives me cause for doubt. Makes me push in order for 'why not?' to become possible. Boundaries? What boundaries?

Your aunt is killing it in that white dress! Gorgeous.
Aww! You should be…it will be fun…like a ‘been there; done that’ moment…extremely hard for anyone to pull the wool over your eyes with all the life experience you’ve been through by the time you turn fifty…cos then (you are truly answerable to no one but yourself)!! It becomes so official…you’ve lived.
That is such a healthy way of looking at it. Can a I take a leaf from your book of life then? š
Yah! One massive leaf is ‘never let anyone arm wrestle you into doing anything, you really don’t want to do…not even if the person is throwing a pity party…just walk away’. Never let anyone ‘guilt trip’ you …any kind of guilt tripping is manipulation.
Yes, I can attest to that because it’s something I’ve been guilty of in the past. Shameful, I know, but at least it’s something I don’t do any more. Having been on the receiving end of this behaviour has given me a little perspective that I was otherwise lacking. Good leaf! š
Your aunt getting married gives me hope. I am 52 years old and I’ve been alone for many, many years, Congratulation to your aunt.
