Dear Elaine,
Learning from Leopold - I was travelling in Bavaria and had a look at some of Leopold 2nd’s unfinished castles - he was a visionary builder but unfortunately a total isolationist and thus his beautiful castles were never complete….. this continued on the theme that I was so struck by at business acumen for artists….
Things are going well otherwise, my film is being finalised and we’ll start screening it soon. All the best with the next business school for artists class.
I just wanted to say hi and let you in on wht I was learning from Leopold…
