Van Gogh shot himself exactly 74 years before I was born. I have no idea why I felt I had to share that...

Reincarnation?

Like the milk, it's no where as good as the original. The only thing I could do that Vincent did would be to take a knife to my ear, but then my glasses would fall off

Oh my gosh, Ros, where do I begin?

1. Fabric and textile art is my first love. Peeps keep coming to me with "Awesome! Can you hem my jeans?" Then they get traumatized by my twitching face. Innocent muggles.

2. back to Van Gogh's sky color - just recently my friend was questioning me why I'd painted a river pink. It's GOTTA BE BLUE! Heck no - have you ever seen a blue river? - that's what artists are for: have a look - it's never blue! It's steel gray, brown, green, golden, not blue. Ok, ok, the sky caaan be blue, but where I live, it's often pink, lavender and sand.

3. Thank you for a delightful article - I've had a great coffee break with it. Keep'em coming!

Thank you, Lexie! You made me laugh. It is such a common experience for creative people I had to have a comedy rant to get it out of my system. And thank you for recommending my Substack on yours; your comments really made my morning. What a brilliant place this is for connecting with like-minded people.

Very excited to hear about editing pirates, I have no idea how anyone ever manages to do anything as amazing as write entire books and I’m really looking forward to reading the further adventures of nothing ❤️
