Watts Gallery - Artists' Village
#OnThisDay in 1849, Mary Watts was born in India.
On her 38th birthday, she recorded in her diary:
'I think of my mother & father & hope they can see me, 38 today. My world lies bathed in sunlight, outwardly & inwardly. Surely this book is full of light & peace & happiness. I told Signor [G F Watts] today when he said "many happy returns" that I was more happy than I thought was possible. Absolutely complete. I have no duty now that I would not before have chosen as a high & rare pleasure - & my Love has made me so a part of his life, that I feel as if I had been born for him & him only 38 years ago!'
