Greetings,

Remember Mars Xiao?

Last year Mars painted both the Chavez family and the Di Palma children portraits.

Mars invited me to her senior art show.

Crystal Huang and me: Crystal hopes to obtain an advanced degree at the University of Warwick (very close to Birmingham and Jane McGuire), so she must pass the all important British University Oral Examination. I've been working with Crystal several times a week for the last two months preparing her for this examination. She takes the examination on July 17th.

See you soon!

All the best,

Kevin
