Who shaves the barber? In my case I sort of like having my photograph taken as I let go completely and just sit and wait for instructions from the photographer.

This lovely
painting by my friend Austrian-born Ilse Hable is different. A year ago she and
her husband (my eldest daughter’s Godfather) Andrew Taylor arrived in Victoria
in a cruise ship. They had come from their home in Guadalajara, Mexico.
We met them
at the dock and took them to Butchart Gardens a place I had avoided for years.
Hable insisted we go and in the end she was right. We all enjoyed ourselves and
the garden was spectacular.
Taylor
snapped pictures and I was not aware he had taken pictures of me. Or perhaps it
was Hable who took the shots.
Recently she sent me an email with the surprise
that she had painted my portrait.
Rosemary
and I cannot wait to visit them in Guadalajara, after all I now have a very
good excuse.
