| "The Old Greek" is a warm and sensitive
rendering of an actual person, beautifully portrayed by the artist.
The Loveland High Plains Arts Council is pleased and proud to have
this piece as part of its permanent collection in Benson Park."
- Laura Ford, President, Loveland High Plains Arts Council, (September
26, 1989) "The Old Greek was inspired by an elderly
gentleman I observed an a ferry while traveling from the Greek Isle
of Santorini to Mykonos in 1985. I was captivated by his strong,
yet comfortable sense of himself, as if he felt that by virtue of
his age he had earned the right to be wherever he wished. I imagined
him to be an old sailor, His wife sat on a chair nearby, very proper
in her orthodox Greek attire. |
