painter

it may only be recently that i call myself artist first, after mother

more than three years now that i have been compelled to create

but it was always quietly present

i remember well the feeling painting this watercolour portrait of my mother

memory fails me, but this was a decade or so ago

it was the same deeply satisfying creative bliss i tap into regularly now

glimpses of what i now know will forever be with me

i thank the spirits for painting
