Right From The Beginning, I

I'm The Oldest Antique In Town.

Very Interesting For An Old Duffer Like Me To Try His Hand At Something New. If I Don't Do That Once In A While, I Might Just Turn Into A Fossil, You Know!

I Just Wanted To Do Something Important.

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.

Travel Is Like A Tonic To Me. It's More Than Just Getting Away From The Studio For A Brief Rest. I Need It To Recharge My Batteries.
