One of my personal favorite paintings is “The Ideal Nose” ... I think most people who see this painting fall in love with it. I feel that there is a certain magnetic mystery to her beauty. I did this painting many years ago around the time when I was working at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C and I actually had it on display in an area for the National Gallery of Art Staff where a lot of staff members / employees saw it and wanted to purchase it. Yet, I felt that it was a painting that I have to hold onto, and keep in my private collection.
