Dear PW Gallery,
I wanted to write personally to thank you for the extraordinary portrait commissioned by me of my twin sister, created by the remarkable Mr Hedge Fund. It arrived with all the colours, blacks, confidence, and wit I had hoped for. The artist is a genius and should be knighted.
The piece is vibrant, bold, and entirely modern, yet somehow captures something timeless about Woodie (and, curiously, about me as well). There’s a striking duality in it. Friends and family who’ve seen it all say the same: “It’s her, of course—but it’s you too.” I can only assume this is the true magic of Mr Fund’s vision—he’s given me not only the portrait I asked for, but another I didn’t realise I wanted. Two for the price of one, as someone joked.
The colours sing. The composition crackles with personality. And there’s a subtle warmth beneath the digital sharpness that’s hard to describe but deeply felt. It now hangs in my sitting room, and I catch myself smiling at it every day—sometimes with affection, sometimes with a curious feeling of being the second best version of me in the room.
Please do pass on my thanks to Mr Hedge Fund. He’s captured something truly special. And thank you again for guiding the commission with such care and enthusiasm. It’s not every day one receives a portrait that feels like both a celebration, a mirror and a ticket to the art collecting elite. Everyone who’s anyone has a portrait by Hedge Fund – it stands to reason then that I am now someone!
With all best wishes, I will be in touch about the portraits of my goldfish that we talked about,
