Grandma Moses, a lady who, after working as a housekeeper for almost her entire life, widowed and suffering from arthritis, started painting at the age of 77, becoming a tremendously successful artist.
Imagine if she had prepared for death instead.
Smiling through long days and late nights - humouring me for this shot. Some very talented artists and assistants here.

The pandemic was tough but it was also a time I used to focus and work on my paintings which were eventually bought by collectors in Europe, US, Australia, and India.
Thankful to the Lord for his blessings.
Here's a thread.

Our conversations.. like intricate layers of petals, revealing hues of magenta on vermilion.
Our plans ... Vibrant as the cerulean skies, darkened by moody ultramarines , always with a tinge of cadmium abstracts.

Chirpy opened his eyes to a translucent light around him. He wanted to see and feel that light in all its fullness.
So he started pecking around the shell that seemed to be getting in the way of that light.
His feeble pecks caused a crack around the shell.
And with one big determined stretch, he managed to get break himself loose from the shell.
Much to his delight, he was greeted by the warm bright light, and a pair of smiles.
"Hi love, welcome to the world. You are Chirpy." Said they.

Your personal experience doesn't justify your tagging every man a chauvinist/ pervert and every woman a golf digger or a bitter feminist.
A good man mostly just wants a little respect, some affection and unflinching support through thick and thin .
If you can't give him that, but you can nitpick on his every flaw, you act cold, aloof or make him feel small, you do not deserve him.
