The Artist has been here over 3 hours now and I cant help myself but stare at her as she sits there like a portrait that’s already been painted. I have been getting rather irritated with Fra Pandolf and the commands he keeps making my Duchess do. She is mine and I am the only one that should be allowed to control her, but because I want the portrait of her to be viewed at my will I allowed it. I was taken back after I came in from a ride around my estate to make sure the servants are in order that the duchess had slight blush to her cheeks and Fra Pandolf had the arrogance about him to paint the blush to her cheeks in the painting. Im curious to know what made her blush; I can’t believe she would allow herself to be so easily amused. I feel very soon she will need a strict talking to about her behavior and looking at other men in such a way. It’s just not proper for a lady to not follow the strict guidelines her husband has set for her when she is in my presence. On a lighter note the painting is beautiful and in order to praise my duchess for sitting so still I had a servant of mine fetch a white mule to ride along with me when we go into the gardens. She was pleased to say the least and the evening ending as I had planned. Tomorrow will be another day of sitting from the portrait. Fra Pandolf stated that it should only take another day to complete. I am glad of this because I want him removed from my estate as soon as the task is completed.
