Happy International Women’s Day! I took my 4 year old daughter to a birthday party last weeken
Happy International Women’s Day! I took my 4 year old daughter to a birthday party last weekend, in the Wonder Woman costume she asked to wear, and as she was joyfully hopping on the bouncy castle, I knew I wanted to paint that striking image by way of celebration. I had originally planned to paint her portrait, and in fact I probably will for a print at home, but it seemed more appropriate, for a couple of reasons, to have her jumping so high that she’s cropped out of the image. As a parent you know that not every day will be as easy for them (or you) as one where they’re leaping around before and after eating cake. So I’m always mindful of savouring those moments, even when there’s a tantrum or two thrown in! I think a lot about how I can help to prepare my daughter (and son) for the world, but I also know that every moment lived on a bouncy castle is time well spent. So keep bouncing, girl. It’ll be time to come down and put your socks and shoes back on soon enough. My daughter is of course very lucky to have such a strong role model in her kind and tenacious mother, and two brilliant grandmothers also. Here’s to my wife for generally being excellent and keeping me together and on track, to my mother for everything she did (and still does) for me, and to all the amazing women friends and colleagues I’ve known over the years. A number of fellow Poster Posse artists have created something new to celebrate today.
