I started painting in July of 2025. In January 2026, I thought I would show my work to an olde friend from the UK who is an Art History pundit. His comment:
Dearest L
You are such a tease.
Slightly reminds me of what Dr Johnson said “Sir, a woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.”
I think of you more often than I write to you.
Love,
Stephen x
PS. Cheers !
