Btw love your new
profile pic. Think I
might have an idea for
a portrait based on it
[I love your sugar plum
so far :) I cannot wait!!
I think a portrait of my
profile pic would be amazing!!
I look so evil in it]

excited!! You have no
idea!!!!!!]
I'm downtown on
Hastings right now. I'll
send you the pic as
soon as i get home. It's
subtitled "English
Gothic", but it could
have been "Coolest
Muse Ever!" Hope you
like it

Just sent your portrait
off into cyberspace. If it
doesn't get there let me
know

Hi Fran So I just
made yet another
change to the Medieval
Madonna. This time I
think i got it right. Can't
imagine what i was
thinking before
July 23
[Hi Richard, I hope you
are feeling much better!
Sorry for the late reply I
went camping and left
my phone at home -
bliss! The medieval
Madonna is just
glorious! Everything
you do is so beautiful!]
July 24
Hi Fran guessing you
had a great time and
hoping u stayed cool &
mosquito free
The medieval madonna is
so much better now.
But any portrait of you
with elements of Frank
Lloyd Wright can't help
being beautiful
