Lady Sees Portrait of Her Carbon Copy among Artist’s Works, ‘I Drew Her an Hour Ago,’ He Says – Story of the Day
A street artist thought Emily was fooling him, but she was genuinely confused as to why he thought so. The conversation that happened between them right after surprised her and changed the course of her life forever.
