Clearing up the meaning of my blog name
For anyone interested, Artistricky It is not Art is Tricky as some people have deduced (although, of course, art is quite often very tricky). It is Artist Ricky, me being an artist. And me once being known as Ricky until many years ago my then-young husband put the kaibosh on it by saying it sounded as if I was a floozy, thus displeasing me but pleasing my dear mother who thought it sounded as if I had rickets. I had liked the friendly warmth of Ricky, compared with the rather hard-edged sound of Erica, but, there we go, girls let men get the better of them when they are young. So Ricky went out the window - until now.
