Stephen, however, can't be rushed, as he is also very busy, and I will need to let it take its course. The Huntington Library and Art Collections are also interested in the painting, but this too, will take some time. I have assets, but as I said to you, it is an immediate and bad liquidity problem for the next two-three months, and I am actively trying to generate some necessary funds. Is there someway I could make this work for you, in terms of either a payment for a sculpture, support for my work, or a interest bearing loan? Looking for about $30K and repayment in 3 months or before. Also, please let me know if you would be available on Sunday morning to talk to Michael Douglas.
