ISOLATION ARTIST - DAY 60

Pink is the colour for today. I've been painting all morning and have used a great deal of pink. Pink always cheers me up. As a young girl I said I didn't like pink and I suspect this is because my bedroom was top to tail pink and very often I was dressed top to tail in pink. This wasn't my choice so my rebellion against pink was a protest at my situation. And the joke is that I love pink. Now I'm making up for it in my work.

So when I think of pink it brings to mind:

Painting
Carnations
Roses
Half of Jack Wills stripes
My Mum
A favourite dress
Lily the pink - by the Scaffold (my Dad used to sing this as his mother - Nana Collins was called Lily)
Acrylic paint
Pink Satin - a very impressive painting by Gillian Ayres
The colour I want to paint one room in our house
Blancmange (never could stand that)
In the pink
Pink - the singer who I saw as the singer who came on before Coldplay at the Emirates Stadium with my friend Jane
Chris's pink shirts - he loves pink shirts
Some pink shorts that I sent to the charity shop and wish I still had
The sky 
My phone case
Lovely notebook that my friend Sally gave me
Heart shaped post it notes - I love post it notes
My pink pen - I like writing with coloured pens and the pink one is my favourite
​

Todays painting is 'Mary Mary', obviously chosen as she's dressed in pink
