Dear M
Kristina is allergic to dogs. When we have stayed with her sister (who has two lovely retired greyhounds) she has been fine, but she insists that living with one would be a problem. I don't know. Maybe she just doesn't like dogs. I grew up with a family that loved them. We had four in total before I left home. All mutts and all completely different apart from their absolute loyalty. Dogs are non-judgemental and never argue with you (unless it is over something revolting they found in the street that you have to wrestle from them...).
I used to paint all kinds of things: portraits, landscapes, abstracts. I was still finding my style, working things out. If I didn't like my paintings, I would paint over the canvases. If you X-rayed some of my old canvases, you'd find a dozen paintings under many of them. Sometimes my friend Robert would take a liking to them and sell them without my knowledge. So I guess there must be a few paintings out there, but I'm finished with painting for now.

P.S. I don't mind you talking about me to other students, but you probably shouldn't mention these letters. Other people might get the wrong idea.
