Beshlie bought one and asked if he had any bird-eating spiders! Then i read a newspaper article about her life. Fascinating!<br />I still have the circular greetings card which she sent to him and would like to contact her.<br /><br />Elisabeth BushElisabeth Bushnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805967105022667872.post-2172705189050601762011-07-22T11:12:17.725+01:002011-07-22T11:12:17.725+01:00I have just "discovered" Beshlie.

I do love that portrait of her by Augustus John though and would love to know what she thought of him. I read a great book about his and Gwen John's work and lives recently. She sounds like she might have had a very eventful life so far. How lovely not to 'do the internet'.LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805967105022667872.post-52971007706740734442011-07-20T21:52:49.795+01:002011-07-20T21:52:49.795+01:00Oh My Goodness, i remember Beshlie!

You've brought back some wonderful memories of her artwork and Gallery 5! <br /><br />I think I will drop her a line, just so that she knows a young girl loved her work many years ago and loves it still!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07159166921836676091noreply@blogger.com
