This is one of two dramas written by MacDonald (spreadsheet), about 27k words, all prose.


For the cover, I propose A Painter's Studio by Louis-Léopold Boilly. The main character is an sculptor/painter, and much of the drama takes place in his studio.

OK, Emma will manage with David reviewing. Emma can you assign the artwork?

I'm getting an error when I try to submit: "An artwork with this name already exists."
