So how about a day when I just allow myself to play? In addition to our visit to the Menil (where seeing Rothko Baba in person made quite an impression on my sister, and for that I am glad), we also snuck in an almond croissant and a lot of painting! I remembered a commission I did this time last year, and though abstract painting doesn’t come easy to me, playing with colors in the same way I did for that commission felt natural and fun. I also felt very happy. I’ve been feeling extremely happy since Lily’s been here! And I remembered something John said: “People will buy your happy paintings. Museums will want your sad ones.”
