text messages Richard : [Fran]
Oct 23
Thanks so much for the
pics Fran! The next day
after I got them
I started a new portrait
of you. In terms of
style it has a sort of
Edgar Degas meets
Alphonse Mucha feel to
it, with a touch of the
Velvet Underground
Should be finished end
of the month
Hoping you had a great
week :) Miss you &
wish you were here
Nov 5
I think the word to
describe you in this
portrait would be divine
The art nouveau
styling was inspired by
the Czech artist Mucha
& I thought it suited the
mood perfectly Six
weeks to go on the
book and then I'm
hoping we can create
some great art next
year, if you're still
interested being in the
Patient Zero drawing
[Richard this is my new
favorite Wow!!!! It's so
delicate yet so
powerful, it's definitely
my favorite so far you
are utterly incredible!!!!
How are you doing?]
[Yes, we will create
some awesome art
next year for sure and I
want to be patient zero]

[Comments from your Glorious
masterpiece I'm in the middle
of moving to Sooke but I know
you sent me an email and I
promise I'll read it today how
are you managing the
lockdown Richard? Are you
doing ok?]
Hi Fran! thank you for
sharing that with me I
was thinking just last
night that I'd really love
for you to have both
portraits, this one & the
last one too And I
can't wait till next year
I have about 4 or 5
ideas for large
drawings I would love
for you to be in!!
