met an artist today

pendant and earrings for my wife as a gift
her birthday tomorrow

when asked about his plans to celebrate her 71st
he said they had just been to the NGV
they are showing the Australian Impressionists at the moment.
My face must have lit up
for he pulled out from his coat pocket 2 tickets

went in with the curator
so we had no use of our tickets
you can have them
he beamed

i love painting. the impressionists are really good
I'd love to see them! thank you! you like art?

yes i love art. I paint.
I'm a painter.

wow... I'm in awe.
your name?
not the amount spent that amazed me
but in awe my emotions to meet
a humble painter
passionate about his work
yes i know your work!
i remember your series of springbrook paintings.

yes you have an excellent memory!
an exhibition of works will be held in a few months
at the Australian Gallery
we'll send you some information
we've got your card :)

over 40 yrs of marriage before my eyes
only smiles lines marked their faces
o such beautiful people
really moved I am...
I'd love to paint again.
