Dear Mun,

Though part of me wishes you'd write me more often and let me play with Mike, my love and Master, in some ways I'm grateful you haven't. Matt is still on the loose in Chicago and likely will be for months, but so far I'm much luckier than that other Ellie was and thanks are in order for that. Knowing what I did with and for Mike for Christmas would've been nice too, and who knows, maybe you'll write more prompts and we'll get to find out?

Some new icons would be nice too, since I'm not particularly fond of this black eyeliner and neither is Mike, frankly. In fact, there were several you made today that I think would fit us both nicely and they're only an upload away.

Thank you for your consideration,
Ellie

My life would be much easier if there were more hours in the day, and I suppose most people would agree. But something specific to me? Not having to wait for a letter of credit for our patrons who intend to purchase some of our more expensive works of art and photographs. I don’t think we see this quite as often as some of the larger galleries do, or say a place like Sotheby’s, but every now and then we have someone who would like us to think they’re more wealthy or liquid than they really are and the lack of such a letter proves otherwise.

The gallery is still growing, and small enough that we can’t be as demanding as we’d like about credit – if we turn someone down because they don’t have it, we might not be able to find another buyer too easily. And then it’s a matter of both money and reputation for the artist, since a sale that seemed certain days ago is shaky at best if tested.

In a broader sense, about life being easier, it’d be to live closer to my parents so I’d get to see them on at least somewhat of a regular basis. Practically speaking, they can’t exactly move to Chicago, and well, I can’t really move back to Indiana, either. Things with Michael have been going exceptionally well, and his work and family are here. Add in the fact that southern Indiana isn’t even a blip on the art scene, and that’s why I’ll stay where I am for the foreseeable future. And I’m happy here, with him, for as long as we enjoy each other’s company, and I hope that that’s for a long time to come.

I love Neoclassical painting, especially Ingres and his La grande odalisque, with Thetis and Zeus a very close second. Sure, his technique is beautiful, but I like his choice of subject matter as well. Perhaps that’s why I love Alex’s new series of photographs so much and the technique he uses to make his prints – he shares Ingres’ philosophy about color when he ventures away from black and white prints.

And I love horseback riding. I’d like to try to find a place to go riding in Chicago, maybe even look into renting a horse at a local stable if I’m able to afford it. Michael’s mom is an equestrian too, and I’m hoping she might have some recommendations. Just maybe, she’ll want to join me. I certainly hope so, she’s a wonderful woman and I’ve enjoyed getting to know her.
