Cupcakes and emeralds

The older I get, the more girl I become. When at 17 I was playing with black etching inks, now what draws me is cupcake pinks, pretty purples, emerald greens, gorgeous blues and sparkles. My classroom has colour everywhere. My obsession with black faded years ago to be replaced with riotous colour. And I like to paint ballet princesses. Who would have thought?
