"The truth is that in a moment of pure creative joy she took an object that symbolised the domestic confinement of women and the repressed behaviour expected of them at tea tables through the centuries and told a new story. I embody her boldness, her wit and her courage to disobey everything we knew about art.
I am a woman’s laugh, echoing down the years." -- Ebullient! Sing it, cup. Dear Kathy, It's a pleasure to meet you. ~ Tara
Thank you, Tara! How kind. I have only just discovered your comment (Substack is still very unfamiliar territory to me). So glad you liked my first piece. I'm working on the next, which will probably be a trip inside one of Leonora Carrington's paintings. It's due out next week!
and Leonora Carrington will be along very soon, I promise! But I've decided, finally, that the second post will be a dialogue between two women discussing Dorothea Tanning's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, one of my absolute favourite pictures. I really hope you like it. And thanks so much for your support, Susan: I knew Substack would be a friendly place if you were here.
Picasso always has to stick his or in doesn't he 🤣 loved this. Great to see you here on Substack!

I absolutely adore Leonora!

Aw, that's sweet. I look forward to reading 😊
No hurry. :-) I love that you decided to allow yourself creative responses to artworks. Looking forward to where you take the idea.
