Beautiful day at the Clark. Enjoyed the current exhibition: A Room of Her Own: Women Artist-Activists in Britain, 1875–1945. A few things that captured my attention:

Since I wrote SYLVIE, I remember my dad just like I drew him. πŸ˜‚ For fairness, here he is in 1962 and in 1986. He would have liked my memoir, I think. He liked all manners of books, including comics.
