Old letters

I'm lucky to have saved hundreds of letters sent to me over the years, before email decimated the practice. Recently, I went through some of those old letters to find fragments I still remembered. I wanted to paint those fragments and think about those people. In my opinion, the stuff from Si's scribblings is the most successful, but here are a few pictures based letters from: Lisa, a dear friend from Barnard College; Mary, my roommate there; and Lars, my estimable cousin from L.A.
