I am currently sitting for <a href="http://www.ellaguru.org.uk/">Ms Ella Guru</a> for a portrait, which in the spirit of Ms Kahlo will include some animals in the background.
To wit, one pelican and two foxes. I am portrayed at one with flora and fauna, just like my namesake in The Secret Garden.
Here is the photo montage she is referring to for composition, using a picture she took of me in Highgate Wood a few months ago:

That line on my cheek is the shadow of a branch. I know it looks like I've got a duelling scar. But then, I suppose I've always had a metaphorical duelling scar of sorts. En garde, entire world!
