text messages Richard : [Fran]
May 9
Fran So this morning an idea came to me for
a title of the next portrait : 'Frangelica (a portrait
ten)' We have all these connections around the
#10. And I notice now that 'Frangelica' has 10
letters! If u feel inspired send me a pic I'm
dying to start the next portrait of you! and now would
be so perfect! Sending you refreshing spring blossom
vibes across the water, with much love!!

[The healing vibes are working a treat thank you
so much Richard!! Is it OK to send something risque for
the next portrait? I don't want to scare you]
Hey Fran, sounds awesome! No one loves risque & edgy
like me! (and you!) We are both on the same (magical)
wavelength!! Can't wait to see it
[Do whatever you like with it, we can work our way
up to less clothes this year]
[Maybe you could put a sword thru my heart "Rest
in Ecstacy"]
Omg!! I totally love it!! I cannot wait to start this
portrait
[Yay let's get darker this year. Help the people
purge their stuffed up emotions]
...and ur totally right, we'll purge them of their petty
morales
[Oh I love this so much! It's our turn now]
[We are going to change the world]
May 12
[Richard I'm sending massive amounts of beautiful
celestial light to be around you to keep you blessed

hour ago, and starting your new portrait tomorrow i

Fran i took this shot of your new portrait about 5am this
morning, from my chair Should be finished tomorrow, Monday at
the latest. So this drawing is a gift for u. Think of it as a
sort of birthday present for the last 10 years. Hoping u can swing by
to pick it up on your way back, and hoping ur having a fabulous time!!

your talent!! I'm obsessed with the border!!! I need some time to drink
this in; in the meantime sending lots of love and extremely excited
