text messages Richard : [Fran]

Starting your new
portrait tomorrow
Totally inspired with
it!!! Think Stanley
Kubrick, Elton John,
and Frank Zappa all in
one

[I'm so excited
Richard!! I'm sending
you lots of zen,
creative vibes I hope
you're staying cool
too, I don't do well in
the heat, it makes me
cranky and tired]

Hi Fran! so I started
your new portrait on
Sunday & I'm thinking
it should be finished
middle of next week
Have a lovely
weekend! and enjoy
this cooler weather
too :) (I hate the hot
humid crap the same
way you do)
Btw a part of the
outline of the drawing
came together
magically it was
surreal! Fill you in
next time we talk

[Hi Richard I'm so
excited for this
portrait!!!
I hated the hot weather
last week, I can finally
sleep properly which
means I'm less cranky]

working on your
portrait!! VanCity
misses you too

Hi Fran! just finishing
up your portrait
Photographing it this
evening & sending it to
you tomorrow If there
was one word to
describe how you look
it would be radiant
in a mystical sort of
way!
[I'm so excited Richard,
I can't wait to see it!
You are so incredibly
talented!!!]

I'm sure Elton won't
mind that I borrowed
his music for your
portrait But your
portrait, or your song,
are one and the same
thing really And
yours really are the
the sweetest eyes I've
ever seen!
[Everyone adores your
artwork Richard, you
are a true genius]
Aug 17
[I can't get over this
artwork Richard, it's my
new favourite]
Thank you Fran!!! Love
doing your portrait like
no one else!! Sending
you some new work
later this week Stay
safe & stay cool
Aug 21
Hi Fran! hope you're
enjoying the cooler
temp I was dying in
that humidity :(
Anyway, just sent some
photos to your email
Have a great weekend!
hope to see you soon
Would love for you to
have the 'Your Song'
portrait as a gift All the
time I was working on
it, I felt it should belong
to you How did that
line go... my gift is my
song, and this one's for
you
Aug 22
[What a thoughtful and
incredibly beautiful
gesture I would
absolutely love that
Richard!
I have a wall of all the
portrait prints you sent
me, this artwork will
be the star of the
show
This means a lot to
me, thank you so
much!!!]
