June 28
So in 350 B.C.
Praxiteles of Athens
created a seminal
work of art titled
'Aphrodite of Knidos'
Which inspired this
idea of a large format
drawing titled
'Aphrodite of Saturna
A.D.' I know for
SURE no one could
interpret Aphrodite/
Venus like you could!!
Hoping we can hook
up on Saturna
sometime this
summer!! and bring
this idea to life
[Richard I think my
body might be making
serotonin again. Woke
up this morning not
crying yay!! How are
you feeling?
I absolutely love this
idea!! When would you
like to go to Saturna?
I'm so excited, I'll start
looking for goddess outfits]
Awesome!! And
whenever ur ready to
go to Saturna let me
know ok? and we'll go
[I lost my job so I'm
free, should we wait
until the weather
warms up a bit? End
of July?]
For sure! I'm thinking
from mid-July onwards
I'm totally excited
about going back to
Saturna with you!! I'm
confident you'll love the
place! :)
[Is it a driveable island?]
[I'm wondering if it
would be easier to
bring my car so we can
go on adventures]
July 2
Fran so I was just
checking the ferry
schedules. All
summer the ferry
leaves Swartz Bay for
Saturna at 9am and
returns at 4:40 Your
thought about taking
the car might be a
good idea, and I'll
cover the cost if we
do Saturna is my fav
place on earth and I
don't want to go there
with anyone but u
Hope & pray we can
make it happen!! :)
[We got this! We are
making this happen!!
Part of me wants to
stay overnight and
make a music video
together]
I would love to stay
overnite there! :) That
would be best!! If
we could see a sunset
from up on the ridge
that would be totally
sublime
[Perfect, let's make this
happen!! I'm placing
an order tonight for
my goddess dresses
They should get here
in 10 days. I'm
thinking we shoot for
a weekday say Jul 23
We can watch the
sunset then would you
be down to film a one
camera music video]
July 7
[Richard I forgot I'm
babysitting cats for my
mum & Dad Jul
22-5. Pretty pls could
we do before or after? I
promise I'm clear other
than that]
Fran whatever works
for u Anytime you're
ready to go I'll
be there
[Tuesday Jul 30th, no
changing on my
end, I'm soooo excited
to go!! My venus outfit
should arrive on Friday
I'm beyond excited
actually]
That date will be
perfect Fran!!! :) and I
will definitely cheer on
team England! cause I
know it will make your
your Mum super happy!! :)
Btw There's a long story
behind this, but Venus/
Aphrodite is holding an
apple in her left hand in
a lot of the classical
sculpture and i think
for some reason it's
called the apple of
Paris I know your
interpretation of this
will be fabulous!!
[Oooooh, I might make
a black apple, or
sparkly perhaps]
[I bought these shoes
for Venus]
[I'm gonna kill myself
in these]
Omg! Totally cool!!
I'm thinking Venus de
Milo's gonna have
nothing on you!!
July 9
Excited about the game
coming up but I'm
more than thrilled
thinking about
photographing a
certain magical
woman, on a magical
island!! :)
July 10
[The outfits for Venus
and the music video
get here today!!!!
Should be here by
3pm. I'm waiting at
the door like a Lil kid
waiting for Santa. How
are you doing? Is your
apartment staying
cool?]
Fran I just know this
gown will be a work of
art in itself!! and I have
ideas for the next four
drawings, two large
format & two still life
- good ideas I think, but
you, and only you, can
make them come
alive!!
July 16
Fran I am SO looking
forward to exploring
Saturna with you! Most
of the island I haven't
seen because I always
head straight up to the
Ridge Looking forward
to a fabulous
adventure!! :)
July 22
[1 week today
Richard still trying to
finish the damn song
How are you doing]
Fran I am SO ready
to go!!! :) Had some
weird things
happening last week/
weekend, but now in
the afterglow of a full
moon, I'm feeling
great! Hope ur
staying cool in this
muggy weather, and
I'm sending you vibes
of pure inspiration to
help you finish your
song
July 24
[I'm dying to know what
weird things keep
happening. Ghostly
things have happened at
my place]
Fran on a deep
emotional level last
week it felt like I was
about to spin out of
orbit, and I kinda felt
some odd vibes were
happening with u too
but art always comes
to my rescue :) and my
art and inspiration is
with you explain this
all in more detail on
that charming wooden
terrace of saturna
island pub
Btw is that bear still
hanging around your
yard? :(
[So many bears this
year but if you nod in
respect they leave ppl
alone]
[I saw one a few nights
ago, we nodded at
each other]
And i would love to get
a video of you & the
bear nodding at each
other
July 26
[They're taking him off
life support today
Richard This year is
wild!!
