A PANDEMIC SUCCESS STORY –
OR STORIES….

at our next session.
“A Painting that means something to you” was the title of a
recent Creative Writing group topic. There were various works of
art, all having special meanings for the writers, some they
owned, and others they just admired.
One was so impressed with the cover of E M Forster’s “A room
with a view” that she hunted until she found a print that she
could hang in her room, forever reminding her of her college
days. Then there was the picture, seen in a gallery, and
purchased as a self-congratulatory present on achieving
hard-earned professional qualifications.
Another special painting was a gift from a mother to her
daughter, lifting her spirits when she needed it most, and one
which still hangs in her bedroom. And what about the painting
done in junior school of the interior view of a house, complete
with ‘Coronation Street’ on the television, which won first
prize in the local Eisteddfod? The writer now only possesses
newspaper clippings of her prize presentation, because she never
saw her actual painting again after handing it in.
And one painting that could never be in the writer’s possession
is the subject of another emotive story. While all the other
paintings are unknown to most, this one is extremely famous, and
the writer was able to take a photo of it hanging in The
Mauritshuis Musem in The Hague.
