Philomena arrives each week in her wheelchair, neatly dressed and always smiling. One week when I commented that she was wearing lipstick and ear-rings, she said to me "That's because I look forward very much to being here every Friday". It made me more conscious of dressing more cheerfully every Friday, too.
Each week, she does one painting, choosing her colours and lines very carefully. She has a very clear idea what she wants to draw and stays on till the end of the session every week. Her delicate but colourful drawings attract the attention and admiration of many of her friends.
The first few drawings were indicative of Philomena's preferred subjects as well as her use of colours. As the weeks passed, her paintings became little pieces of art that she very carefully worked on for almost an hour!
