Deep in the Heart of Fiorella

Going through long-forgotten piles of paper, your girl found her very first postings under the name Fiorella, only they weren't on a blog, but on a short-lived little eight-pager called Suburban Notebook, for which Fio herself, woman of all trades, did the art and most of the writing. She's now thinking of printing several copies of Fiorella's initial existence in booklet form and handing them out to friends and family.

As you know, everything Fiorella has written, drawn, painted, or composed has become more and more important to her as the years pass. She just wishes she hadn't been so generous with her talents in the early days, that she'd made copies or photos of everything.

Whatever happened to Fiorella's junior high and high school art--like her dramatic full-length portrait of a sorrowful, defeated Beowulf sitting on a rock? Mr. Cornelius said a janitor must have thrown it away, but, in hindsight, Fio thinks that was unlikely. She also painted oil portraits of a couple of Shakespeare queens for his class. Wonder who has them now?

Speaking of, if you come upon a full-length painting of a little black girl in a pink dress, please let Fio know because she'd like to have a picture of it. It was one of her favorites, especially because the family liked it so much that they commissioned a second edition.

It isn't that Fiorella wants to gather all her various compositions together like sheep in a fold, but she does want to know her work is alive and well and appreciated. Also, let's face it--she wants posterity to know she existed.
