I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I'm trying to start up a small gallery and studio in Memorial Alley. I thought I could do portraits for hire, that sort of thing, and then work on my own art and show mine and others in the gallery from time to time. Of course, if I'm doing portraits, I have to have some to show about. I thought I'd like to do a few of the prettiest girl I know.
I figured you wouldn't feel up to it just yet, I know you've been feeling sick and not really feeling like seeing anyone, but I did some prototypes from some pictures I had of you in school. Of course, I won't show them if you don't want me to. I just thought they might make you smile.
Love, Dean
(With the owl are two small, framed versions of these largerportraits he's done.)
