text messages Richard : [Fran]
Happy full moon Richard I
hope our glorious Luna
bestows upon us magnificent
full moon blessings!
Honestly that suitcase is so
well traveled I'm jealous of
the previous owner! I was
briefly in Paris in 1995, I
was there 2 hours tops, not
enough time to indulge at a
Cafe or visit a fashion
house. The suitcase is
looking marvelous Richard
and I feel so happy that
you used it in this shoot
Everything is coming
together in the most
splendid way as always
You've gone above and
beyond, you are the magic!!
This portrait has the best
vibe every. We need to put
our heads together and
figure out a way to get
this magnificent piece the
exposure it deserves. It's
cold and rainy on the
island this morning and
feels too cozy to go to
work but off I go. I can
feel winter creeping in
My windshield had frost on
it yesterday morning
Sending you big happy
Quantum vibes, full moon
blessings vibes, blue
gentle energy vibes and of
course a big boatload of
love

Fran, another TGIF! and yet
another week closer to
finishing off that job and
moving on to '26 :)!
Speaking of finishing off,
I'm thinking by Sunday night
there won't be much left to
do on the drawing. It's
incredible how magically
everything has come
together! I am so curious
hear how people react to
this one. Down the road, if
it's ever sold, we share
equally
But I'm getting ahead of
myself. There's still work
to do, and I have to focus
on getting it right. I'm
loving this rain (and
frost)!
Sending you cozy vibes of
comfort, affection, and
love!!!
[Yay!!! TGIF Richard only 3
more weeks of work to go after
today. It's been a very
physical work week and
yesterday I was climbing up
stacks of weed totes and
moving those heavy things. I
woke up in a lot of head and
neck pain. I'm hoping I get
an easy task at work today
I'm so excited to post the
final shot. You are most
generous and thoughtful!! The
suitcase looks absolutely
fabulous it looks so
real like I can reach out and
touch it. I'm struggling so
hard with my poetry but am
going to try and reshoot the
poetry video this weekend
I'm never happy with how it
turns out. I hate how I look
right now. I feel like a bit
of a mess! I'll do my best
again this weekend. The poem
is good but I'm not :( Here's
to a marvelous Friday that is
quick and painless. Sending
you the biggest most
beautiful zen vibes, happy
sparkly nebula vibes,
exciting December to
remember vibes and a big
boatload of love]

Fran, my happiest day of the
year will be your last day at
that job. After that it's
like, 'Let the healing begin!'
The new job will make a huge
difference in how you feel!
And I'm wishing you're
feeling well enough this
weekend to record your new
video. Next year I would
love to shoot a series of
videos of you reciting your
work. I have some ideas
I'll run past you next month
and I'll research different
programs available for
editing
So on the drawing front, it
looks like after this
weekend it's essentially
complete, and I'm guessing
Wednesday it should be
totally finished. I think
we've created a unique
piece of work together,
and I'm thinking next year
will be a year of fabulous
creation & promotion. For
now though, enjoying the
grey skies & rain (and a
little snow would be nice
too) &nsp; Sending you Zen
vibes of super-healing
potency, confidence &
creativity, with love &
affection!!!
[Happy Saturday Richard!
I had a little sleep in
and am feeling a bit
better today Only 4
weeks of work left!
January 5th can't come
fast enough lol. The
portrait is just so totally
magnificent and have made
magic happen!! It's such a
magical, mysterious and
joyful piece. Definitely my
favourite along with the
Empress. I really cannot
wait to share it. It was a
damp blustery day on the
island yesterday and the
rain reminded me of the
all consuming Manchester
rain I'm so fond of. It's
the sort of rain that
reminds you that Mother
nature is completely in
charge and we are at her
mercy. I'm going to shoot
the poetry video today
and tomorrow and see
which one I prefer. I've
been feeling a silent
panic because I haven't
managed to get my poetry
out there for a couple of
months. Hopefully that
feeling will go away this
weekend and I'll be back
on track. I'm very excited
to hear about your ideas!
2026 is going to be the
most magical year ever! I
can feel the vibes
already sending you big
green beautiful creative
vibes, happy December to
remember vibes, pretty
starlight nebula vibes
and a big boatload of
love we got this!!]
Dec 7 3:31am
Fran, no need to panic, your
video will be fabulous and
unique, like you are! Along
with the large formats, in
2026 I want to create videos
of your work I know will
intrigue and fascinate
people! It's all about what
Rothko wrote, "Art is an
adventure..."
This whole year has been an
adventure for sure! So
today Quantum will be
essentially finished,
followed by 2 or 3 days of
touch up and finishing off
details. I've been so
focused on the work itself,
getting it right, I haven't
really had time to process
how much this drawing, and
you, means to me!!
Tomorrow morning will send
you the final progress pic,
and later in the week the
final shot of the completed
work
Till then sending you vibes of
creative energy & confidence,
with love & affection!!!
[Richard Rothko was so right!
Art is an adventure and it's
the best adventure of all! I
can't believe how beautifully
quantum has come together it
really is the most spectacular
piece and my new favourite!!
I'm so excited for the final
progress pic. It has been
like slowly opening the most
magical gift ever. I'm
blown away with each pic. I'm
so excited for our 2026
adventures!! I hope you treat
yourself to something really
good when you're finished. You
deserve treats and rest! I
have decided to trim up my
hair and try shooting the
video again today, I don't
like the way I looked right
now and am determined to lose
weight before the next shoot
I'm so excited for the prints
Richard, I can't wait to see
them. Thank you for being you
and for taking amazing care
of me!!! It's warm, windy and
wet on the island this
morning. Perfect for a big
cup of coffee and some ghost
shows. Sending you big bright
green happy Sunday vibes,
gentle cozy island vibes, fun
December to remember vibes
and of course a big boatload
of love here's to a
marvelous Sunday!]
Dec 8 4:01am
Fran, I'm hoping you were
feeling great yesterday, and
were able to shoot your video
I'm so excited to see it; but
don't rush things, just wait
till the time feels right
When it happens I know it'll
be fabulous!
So this progress pic shows
the portrait virtually
complete, although there's a
few days left finishing off
details here & there. I have
to admist it does feel
magical! Because you're
magical, and you inspire me to
the max!! Next pic I send will
be the finished work. For now
sending you vibes of super
energy & protection to get you
safely through the week!
Feeling so much anticipation!
love and affection for you!!!
[Richard this is a most
supreme masterpiece!!! You
absolutely blow me away with
your genius creative mind!!
It's so much more than I
could've ever anticipated
The details are flawless
It is absolutely
breathtaking. You put sooooo
much work into it, every
part of it is perfect. It
feels so very magical and
you are the magic!!!
I did manage to shoot a
video, I don't like it but
I'm going to edit it and
send it to you the next
couple of days to see if
you like it. I hope you
have the most restful day
after the endless hours of
hard work you've put into
the portrait. I hope you
treat yourself I just
can't get over what a
magnificent piece this is
Sending you restful mellow
Monday vibes, happy big
bright beautiful quantum
vibes, December to remember
vibes and a big boatload of
love here's to a
beautiful day!]
Dec 9 2:55am
Fran, I had a weird low-energy
day yesterday. I thought I
might be coming down with the
flu or something. Good news is
I did finish a few details on
the drawing. Today I'm feeling
ok, and I expect to get a lot
done. I'm hoping to finish off
the drawing tomorrow, Thursday
at the very latest. And yes,
when the drawing is finished
I'll treat myself to...
chicken teriyaki!
Wishing with all my heart that
you'll coast thru these last
few weeks with no issues of
any sort at work
Sending you booster vibes of
energy & protection, with a
WHOLE lotta love!!!
