The baby grand’s lid was covered with family pictures—weddings, family gatherings, beaming toothy kids. Great food, relaxed friends. Before I sat down to drawn I caught glimpses of the art collection: Ed Paschke, Max Beckman. Good company, I thought. As I drew one of the couples, the dentist half of the duo reminded me offhandedly to do a good job, because I had to measure up to the standard of Roy Lichtenstein, whose paintings were in the collection here. Very funny. A great evening. Thank you, Stacey and Lowell.
That’s a small selection of the twenty-four drawings I did in those two hours. Just for fun, here’s my caricature of Roy Lichtenstein, coincidentally also done this December as one in a series of artists I felt like drawing.
