- Dear Mona,
-
- I have finally completed your request, now may I
- please paint your portrait? Our agreement was
- contingent on the condition that I complete a
- painting for your friend at the monastery of
- Santa Maria delle Grazie. It took some time,
- but yesterday I put the finishing touches on
- the painting. I have decided to call it
- "The Last Supper." I hope you will be pleased
- with the results. Will you still be visiting
- your friend at the monastery in May?
- We could plan the unveiling for that time.
-
- Now let's discuss your portrait. First,
- please don't be nervous about your smile.
- It is lovely; just think pleasant thoughts
- and your smile will come naturally. Second,
- I would like to paint your portrait outdoors.
- I imagine a picturesque setting with mountains in
- the background. I think we can find the perfect
- place just outside the city.
-
- The following is a list of items that I recommend you
- bring to the sitting:
-
- * Bonnet
- * Sunscreen
- * Hair brush
- * Insect repellent
- * Chair
- * Seat cushion
- * Blanket
- * A good book
- * Picnic lunch (I'll bring the wine)
-
- The local meteorologist has forecasted sunshine for
- June 15th. If that day is convenient, I would like
- to start painting around 11:00 A.M. Let me know if
- this time works for you, if not, we can reschedule.
-
- Send my regards to your family. I hope they are
- all well.
-
- Sincerely,
-
- Leonardo
