An Old Portrait

Pirate Queen
As most of you will know, I am quite old. One of the difficulties of advanced age is that you forget things that you did in your mis-spent youth. So I was quite surprised this morning when my Greek friend, Sissy Pantelis, found an old portrait of me from the days when I had a pirate ship in the Caribbean. (Sissy’s memory is better than mine. She was made immortal by Aphrodite some time around the days of the Trojan War and seems to have got the hang of this extended lifetime thing.)

Anyway, here it is. I’ve clearly put on a lot of weight since those days, though the artist might have flattered me a bit for fear of having to feed the sharks, personally. The hat still fits, though. I can’t for the life of me remember who the artist was, but maybe Sissy will help out.

Update: The art is by Sabine Rich. She has an Etsy shop, but it is currently closed, I suspect due to the VATMOSS nonsense (she’s French).
