Special delivery

The latest portrait is out of the studio and on its way.

A hand on a train holding an opened cardboard envelope with a blue pencil resting on it, beside a brown cardboard postal tube with a white plastic end cap. Blue seats and grab poles behind.

The tube holds the portrait, rolled – A2 plus a white border – and the certificate of authenticity.

The envelope holds three copies of a booklet, with pages of photos I took during the sitting.

The pencil is in case I add anything to the inscription when I deliver.

Who it’s for, I’ll tell you once it’s arrived.
