It's
one of those days when I want to clear up, make space. If I were a
farmer I would plow a field or if I were John Bercow I could shout ORDER
OORRDERR!
My studio is too small for all the stuff, all the past
accumulated, saved, roughly stored.
In an old portfolio I found
this portrait of my sister Annie which I painted in Paris when I was
eighteen and she was twenty-two. I like it. I also like this abstract
around 1956 in Vermont, during my drawing-with-string period which
didn't last very long.

That's a beautiful portrait, Natalie. I'm so sorry about Frances, and know this must be both sad and difficult for you. My sympathy, and gratitude for having met them with you at the book fair that time in London. A rare couple, who have done something quietly extraordinary with their lives.
Thnnk you Beth, I'm glad you got to meet them, however briefly. Frances had been ill for some time but I thought that she was getting better. Many people will miss her presence in the book arts world and of course among her family and friends.
Love to you and Jonathan.
