A new celebration

one day

in the summer

I decided to find

surfaces

on which I could paint

not just canvases 

not just paper

not just walls

not just doors

not just windows

but also plates

old procelain plates

on shells

natural shells

to adorn

the memories

of Mum and Dad

when they were young

to celebrate their being with us

in the year 2016

when mum is 99

and Dad 100

with love to them
