The View Of Life I Communicate In

Without Thinking Too Much About It In Specific Terms, I Was Showing The America I Knew And Observed To Others Who Might Not Have Noticed. My Fundamental Purpose Is To Interpret The Typical American. I Am A Story Teller.

Here In New England, The Character Is Strong And Unshakable.

The '20s Ended In An Era Of Extravagance, Sort Of Like The One We're In Now. There Was A Big Crash, But Then The Country Picked Itself Up Again, And We Had Some Great Years. Those Were The Days When American Believed In Itself. I Was Happy And Proud To Be Painting It.

I Talk As I Sketch, Too, In Order To Keep Their Minds Off What I'm Doing So I'll Get The Most Natural Expression I Can From Them. Also, The Talking Helps To Size Up The Subject's Personality, So I Can Figure Out Better How To Portray Him.

I Paint Life As I Would Like It To Be.
