These are my hands after working on the set of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat for a few hours. There was a time when it was not unusual to see the colours of my day's painting spattered on me after painting a backdrop, flats or props in some theatre. Now it is a novelty and I am enjoying it thoroughly. I get caught up in the act of creating, and it is exhilirating, especially when it is progressing well.
