I Have Always Said To Young Artists

When I Paint, I Seriously Consider The Public Presence Of A Person - The Surface Facade. I Am Less Concerned With How People Look When They Wake Up Or How They Act At Home. A Person's Public Presence Reflects His Own Efforts At Image Development.

Eating Is One Of The Great Beauties In Life. One Of My Favorite Recreations... Eating With Friends, The Service, The Ambience.
