Hell, not your fault, no way you could have known.
BTW Hope the Elder JW brethren okd that art course.
I have never worked in an office unlike a namby pamby button pusher like you. My ruddy complexion is formed by natures elements and my body honed by physical toil, the like of what a fatty like you could only dream of.

Only discovered her a few years ago when researching female artists for a lesson.
A remarkable woman and such emotional art.
She was apparently in pain her whole life.
