Emily Jane is
painting.
Born in England in 1913, Emily
crossed the Atlantic after World War I to spend her early years in Rhode Island.  |
| Emily - 1934 |
She later returned to England where she spent her youth dancing to the big
band sound of Glen Miller in the ballrooms of Blackpool and bicycle riding through the Yorkshire Dales. The end of World War II saw
Emily on yet another ocean voyage, this time across the Indian Ocean bound for
Australia.
As so often
happens Emily didn't embark on her painting career until in her 50s. She says she's now making up for lost time. Painting for many years in oils she has now switched to acrylics. 'Easier to clean up after,' she says. Emily, the ever practical lady!
So, what is
Emily’s message to us all?
It’s never
too late to start what you have always dreamt of doing be it painting, writing,
learning to play an instrument or studying your favourite subject, etc.
What have
you always dreamt of doing?
What an interesting life! How wonderful that she is still painting and doing the things she loves. Emily Jane is an inspiration to all and proves...it's never too late!
