I Will Draw and Paint Belle

Belle and I met at the Wandering Goat, I am going to go forward with my desire to render Belle in several works, one being a grouping of my muses like the one John did above. Being kin to Talitha Getty, via Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, brings together a grouping of artists and muses that are kin to my later sister, Christine Rosamond Benton. Christine was her own model. With Belle, the Sleeping Beauty Court is awake! Above is Christine at the Getty mansion where she spent several nights.

Belle Burch made a verbal contract with me, being, in exchange for the Schwinn bicycle I gave her, she in turn would give me ten hours of modeling.

As I informed Belle, our meeting was a historic event, being, she is now associated with a family of artists and muses of great importance.
