Henri Matisse
The Parakeet and the Mermaid
1952
London yesterday for Matisse at Tate Modern with my Mum; today it’s starting to work my way through the reports for my form, thousands of words that most kids probably won’t read (all they care about is the grades).
Sigh.
As my desk faces the park, to turn down the distractions and help me focus, I pull all the blinds to block out the concentration-destroying world. So it’s a daytime cave of focus, or at least it is for twenty minute bursts.
Haven’t got halfway through them of course. Deadline is 9am Wednesday. Guess what i’m going to be doing Tuesday after work? More work.
