These photo's were taken not long after I met Lisa in 2001 in Westonbirt Arboretum about 30 miles from my home, the acer trees in autumn are stunning.
This was painted by a friend of mine. She doesn't usually sell her paintings but I liked this one so much, she agreed to sell it to me. She called it Lady in Red but I call her The Scarlet Woman. To me, she has supped heartily on all the pleasures of life. She has known exquisite pleasure and deepest heartache and come through it all a stronger woman. I'm afraid my picture doesn't do justice to her painting.
Muchas gracias shirley...I bought that dress on a Spanish street market..weighted pure linen, only 28 euros.. , and it's probably the easiest wear linen dress I've ever owned..
