So the paper's up & I'm
getting ready to start

Gonna be in a kind of
sepia tone & have a
film noir feel to it Hope

lifes... Frangelica's
Wardrobe!!
July 19
Fran so I'm starting
the third day of work on
the outline of your shoe
drawing Took this pic
at 4am this morning
I'm aiming for a kind of
film noir feel in sepia
tones There's a lot
more I'll be adding to
this, but I thought you
might like seeing a sort
of sneak preview
July 22
Your drawing is
coming along nicely :)
here's another peek at
it (part of it at the
top)
July 26

Finishing off your

July 31
I'm looking at the
'Frangelica's Heelz'
drawing just now
Wow! I have to admit
I'm kinda happy with
this one :)
[Richard there hasn't
been a piece I don't
adore I can't wait to

Fran I'm distressed
that you've been feeling
ill :( I was feeling kind
of strange the last
couple of days, and I'm
thinking it's that
connection between us
again Feeling much
better today :)
Sending you anti-virus
healing vibes across
the water, and later
today the 'Frangelica's
Heelz' drawing Which
I think turned out
fabulous!! :)
Aug 6
Fran quite happy with
how the drawing turned
out :) even your shoes
bring out the best in me
as an artist!! It has
less an edgy than a
dreamy, film noir feel to
it. Very 'Parisian
Evening' i think. I'm
saving edgy for
'Aphrodite's Heelz'!
Hope & pray that you're
feeling better! Sending
you cool, soothing
vibes & much love
Aug 8
So the 'Frangelica's
Heelz' drawing is
getting great reviews! :)
I tell them 'it's all in
the Muse.'
