Between the Gillian Ayres show at the Castlefield Gallery on Deansgate and Manchester in 1989 and the Joan Mitchell show at Hauser and Wirth around 2006, I could not choose between as seminal moments in  my life.  Both are profound touchstones.  The Gillian Ayres show helped light the touch paper for a love affair with painting, the Joan Mitchell show poured buckets of lighter fluid on the still burning but by then more subdued flames.  I am currently allowing myself to revel in this love in an unapologetic way, like I did when I was 19, and it feels good.
