Warning: very explicit paintings of women’s private parts. This is about the little portrait Khushi sent Moyri, and the one Moyri had made after she arrived in Selday.

Khushi had Caille paint a double portrait of herself that she wanted to send to Moyri, because she had left Essle without saying goodbye and without giving something of herself to her lover. The portrait brought a distrait and distracted Moyri all the way to Selday, ostensibly to open a new Order House, but when Khushi had a little doctor Khora moment in the harbour, she knew she was going to leave the Order. And then Moyri went to Caille and had her portraits done, too.

And then I, that’s the player of Khushi, started to wonder what those portraits would have looked like. We’ve played people who had their portraits painted before, we had met an Iss-Peranian woman who paints flowers, we’ve played a young apprentice painter, we’ve seen paintings of the Kings of Valdyas in an inn in Valdis.

So, when I took a holiday at the end of 2019, I started painting two portraits on small panels. Today I finished the, ahem, backsides, too. I’ve acquired a bunch of brushes, three kinds of paints, lots of patience, and I’ve started on a course in fine painting…

The panels are 3 by 3 inch, so it’s all pretty small and portable. When everything is dry, in six or twelve months, I’ll apply varnish, and when that’s dry, I’ll bind them like Moyri and Khushi have bound them, in silk and leather, as a little booklet.

For the curious, yes, the face and the pussy really belong to the same woman, I found a place where there are pictures of ordinary naked women…
