“The painting The Last Letter. She is receiving the final letter from a relative who is about to fall victim to the corona epidemic. I used my girlfriend, Heidi Kelday as a model. In fact, the inspiration came from a real letter from her niece, who lives in Hawaii and who was planning to move. But so far the risk of COVID-19 infection has made it difficult.”
