I’ve been wanting to share this for a while now: my mystery portrait.
It hangs in my office at work, along with the two other artworks made by students and given me over the years.
The other two were hand-delivered, so I could thank my student personally.
Not so with this.
It was secretly left on my office desk in the first week back this year. The only clue was the handwritten note ‘Welcome back Mrs Bloxham’ on the back.
Now the content matter is amusing. It’s me, in a monster BookWeek costume from 2016. The only selfie I have on my Instagram profile.
What I find incredible? And so, so, so humbling? That a student would seek out a photo of me, and then spend hours and hours and HOURS of their time, during their holidays, drawing me! Because it is a FANTASTIC drawing!
Such a blessing. And I haven’t been able to find out which student blessed me yet, which adds to the mystery 🙂
So if it’s you, dear Reader, lurking on my blog, THANK YOU! And for my other blog Readers, here’s wishing you a pleasant mystery in your week too 🙂
