A note on da Vinci's model
Never rewarded for
it, but she was
a virtuous woman. Some
element of luck in-
volved, something to
do with the mutual
repulsion of grease &
water. Otherwise
she was carnivorous,
capable of short bursts
of speed, leaving what
was left of her prey
behind as long sweet
roots. These were
later made into that
hard black paste used
during the Renaissance
as both flavouring &
canvas size. Move closer
to the painting, press
your nose against
the glass that now
protects it. See. Smell.
