text messages Richard : [Fran]
Mar 4
Fran started your
new portrait yesterday
I took the pic at 4:30
this morning & I'm
working out the
background later
today. Think Lunar
New Year... but it's not
the Moon Hoping
you had a fabulous
week & that your
weekend is totally
restful :) Sending your
email the lastest
drawing, and some
collages I'm making
some changes to, this
weekend with a
steady flow of love,
light & inspirational
vibes!!!:)
... and you still have
the most beautiful
eyes ever!!
[Richard, you were up
early!!! I'm so intrigued,
I cannot wait to see it.
How was your week? I
worked 11 and 12 hr
days every day, I will
probably sleep all day
tomorrow lol. I'm
excited for the email!
Sending oodles of love
light and happy vibes!!!
The world feels crazy
right now so I'm
counteracting it by
channeling peace
thank you, I think my
eyes are my best
feature]
So the background of
your portrait came
together beautifully
today!! Wishing you to
have some much
deserved rest... and
sweet dreams :)
Mar 12
Fran it's looking like
your new portrait
should be finished
sometime this
afternoon And it turns
out that 8 years ago
today, Mar 12 was
the first day I met you! :) :)
So this portrait
will be a sort of
anniversary gift to you,
the girl with the
magical eyes!!
Sending you love &
sunbeams of warm
light thru this cold rain
Finished up your
portrait just after noon
It all came together
beautifully and you
look totally stunning!!!
Sending it to you by
UPS next week
[Happy Anniversary!!! It
feels so much longer
than 8 years. I am in
immense anticipation, I
cannot wait to see it.
You have a brilliant
way of capturing my
soul every time you
create my portrait and I
think that's because
you know my eyes are
the windows to my
soul
Sending you lots of
love, light, serenity and
massive amounts of
gratitude]
