Well that is ebay for you Astro...hahaha. Maybe try again later.

I know you are really creative as well.

I'm not exactly Rembrandt...hahaha...so don't hold your breath. I learned to oil paint at an early age and did have to learn to paint everything, from landscapes and still life to portraits, but none of it was really my thing. So I started painting from my fantasy and paint mainly symbolic, surrealistic, modern kind of stuff. Not everyone's cup a tea. I did a painting for a friend of mine last year with all kinds of things in it to represent what she loved. I hadn't painted for a long time, but it was a lot of fun getting back into it. I do have to have real inspiration though. I can't just go and sit copying something like some can do, so making it into a profession was always out of the question for me.

Fantastic that you sold some paintings! That is absolutely great.

I wish my garden was bigger. I would love a Japanese garden as well. Somewhere really tranquil to sit and read.

As a mother I know how important it is for you to see your children getting on well. We're close as a family and it feels good.

Health is important in life and mine isn't always as good as I would wish, but I don't dwell on it. My cup is always half full.

I think it's always good to count our blessings on a regular basis. We're often surrounded by things that make us happy, but we don't always see that, it becomes normal. We often don't stand still long enough to really appreciate that what is right there under our noses and actually gives us a lot of joy.
