Dear Ms. Schwartz:
I found your information on the RISD website. We are looking for an artist/painter to paint an Italian landscape with Villa from a photograph. Of course your own style technique would be incorporated! We currently traveled to Italy this Spring and attended a beautiful wedding at this specific villa. We thought it would be a great gift to give the newlyweds a painting of the beautiful location where they married. Is this something that would of interest to you? Look forward to speaking with you.
Kind regards,

Thank you for your offer, Brenda. I’m not sure my fantasy style will work for painting an Italian Villa, though. At the moment I am swamped with work, but if you are still interested and you are not in a rush, we can talk further….
