It still didn't seem quite right. It was her first self-portrait. But Karen Kavanagh wasn't completely happy with it and felt she had spent enough time on it. What she wanted to do was something different. A view from her rooftop garden. She had only recently moved into the penthouse apartment. The 32-year old redhead had wanted a new scene. She needed something new in her life follow her breakup and divorce from her husband Kevin. The marriage hadn't worked out but she did not want to be vindictive. They had been together nearly a decade. She never really understood why but now was the time to look forward than back, she convinced herself.
Art had become a kind of therapy for Karen. It preoccupied her mind. She liked to be creative and was also musically talented, not quite a child prodigy. But she did have piano lessons and also learned to play a guitar. The neurotic redhead saw her hobbies as a healing device. Although he doctor had prescribed anti-depressants pills, she never took them. She was diagnosed with having some form of obsessive compulsive disorder but she believed he never listened to whatever she said. It was like with Kevin, he had never appreciated her nor ascertained what she needed. Her mind kept wandering as she stopped by the marble stairs that gave her access to the rooftop garden. It was her easel she was looking for, together with her paints and a canvas for her new project.
There was much work to do in the apartment, which had been empty for months or so the redhead had been told. It would also keep her busy but would take her time. After such a distressful divorce, she intended to do nothing in a hurry. Her husband had agreed what her own lawyer described as a reasonable financial settlement. Money had never really interested her but the 32 year old spent much of her agreed buying the new place. It was in a different city she moved to. She wanted to get back to work as soon as possible but her alimony meant that she could take her time. It had been a life-changing event, which she was determined to make the best of. The roof garden itself was quite extensive and even had a pond. The real estate agent called it a spa oasis.
