Ideas not things

Cabin fever was setting in so we popped up to the Watts Gallery for lunch/cake and a browse.  There's always something interesting to see there and currently there's a fascinating exhibition on James Henry Pullen, 'the genius of Earlswood Asylum'.  Pictured though is 'Aurora' by Mr Watts, which seemed fitting, given my name (I was going to blip the reverse angle and say, 'does my bum look big in this' but thought better of it).  Anyway, it's intended to suggest 'the fearless strength of the sun's rays dispersing all darkness and gloom' as she casts off 'the folds of drapery which had covered her before the dawn' to express 'all that is great in resolve and perfect in hope'.
