The Yellow Balloon Of Victory!

I was out jogging just now (Yay! Good for me!) and I looked up into the sky and this bright yellow balloon was zooming southward in front of the dark grey sky in the north. It was so beautiful and I thought "O My God! I wish I had a camera on me right now!" And then I thought "Oh don't be one of those silly people that's so busy taking photos and video of everything that you never just stop and experience something."

"SO I WILL PAINT IT!" I thought with satisfaction. I will paint this moment from the photograph that I've downloaded in my brain...I'll paint it just as soon as I get a studio. Which guess what people?! ...IS TOMORROW!!! YaYAH!!

I got an email this morning from this nice girl who has a big beautiful brightly lit studio at The Harwood and heard from the Harwood's Director that I was looking for a place to paint.

All these different things this week have just been falling into place. I know my father would be horrified to know that I've quit my day job without having another job lined up or another source of income but I'm just so enthralled with all the possibilities I'm creating and the looming threat of starvation and imprisonment (you do know it's illegal to be poor right, email me privately if you want to know how i know this) at every moment. It's like...Once again there's electricity is in the air....once again there's magic. And once again...I'm starting to believe in fairies.
