Delarue I wonder this March would let me have all of these well that depends what's in it for prices will have to be built up mr. principal I can usually tell whether a canvas has been painted by a man or woman but you fooled me completely miss Marchant your work is not only original it has a masculine force how long does it take you to paint a picture sometimes a day sometimes a year you can't tell has to grow of course it's a matter of feeling you know how how feeling grows it's like like falling in love I guess that's a very good description the way I look at it every painting if it's any good is a love of their okay oh no no no please don't write about me I can say you're going to be a very hard case why don't you have confidence in your work because I can't tell you do all right I just put a line around what I feel when I look at things you're a very stimulating person to talk to are you two getting along I think I'm breaking the ice kitty mr.
