Hi Fran, I'm only just
recovered from another
god awful flu Anyway,
thought you'd like to
see the first shoe
drawing I did 11 years
ago. The other one is a
drawing I did just
before the Blue Moon
Portrait, a friend of
mine from Port of
Spain, & I'm just
finishing a portrait of a
girl from Brunei of all
places. It's not exactly
what I was hoping for,
but it looks like I'm
back to being a 'world'
artist again. Would still
love to do the raven
goddess because I
know it could be
amazing!! And I would
love to give u all those
prints too. Can we still
meet for tea?

[I love this portrait so
much   she is
absolutely beautiful
and you painted her

perfectly!!! I'm so sad
you had the flu! I'm
sending massive
amounts of zen vibes
to heal you. We can
totally meet for tea,
I'm away on work
training this weekend
though]

Thanks Fran!! There is
absolutely no one I
would rather show my
art to than you!!! And
there's no woman
whose portrait I'd
rather do than yours!
Hope the training goes
well this weekend & I'll
text u next week
should have a new
shoe drawing to send
with it too
