This is a portrait of my friend Marie, which I did back in April. Thank heavens I photographed it at this stage, where I ought to have left it because I later went on to – alas – ruin it entirely.

Hey, Nat, i went to your amazing photography blog and when it said, esp at your photo of your children some years ago, “please rate this”, i did not see any buttons to do so…would have given you high marks if there was someplace to do it. Or am I simply blind ? I have missed such things before….
My best to you,
Phoebe

Oh wow! That is beautiful! I hear you on “ruining” something, which generally doesn’t happen in writing or music composition since you can “take back” what you have done.You can definitely wreck a recipe or a knitting project, though. You can irreparably botch a performance. It is interesting that the possibility of “wrecking” a work of art depends on how the art work plays out in the passage of time. I love the painting.

Dear Marie and Julie,
Oh this version was not wrecked at all…which is why I was so glad I « saved » it by photographing it. Alas’ gouache is not forgiving or erasable and when I tried to « smoothe » it I completely wrecked the original… BUT I am so happy I still have a photo to make prints from!
Love
Phoebe
