Home away from home

Wherever I am, I seem to have a compulsive urge to make it look as nice as possible. I find myself arranging things, and if I can't make it look nice, I tidy, put things away, so at least it's neat.

So here I am at my Mum's and somehow I seem to have taken over the place. The African heads are hers, from Nigeria. Do you remember the lady from the auction? Well, I got her. The style of painting is so loose and confident the artist makes it look almost as though she wasn't even fully trying. That's skill for you.
