All day on the “Three Seasons” pictures — Once I almost gave it up as a too fantastic an idea — but persisted and as the day went on, the work grew easier.
M & A over after supper —
Then B & I to studio to look at the picture — B thinks it is beautiful & successful. I am so exhausted mentally & physically I cannot judge.
