| Let’s
toast to The Year of the Martini…, which comes hot on the heels of
many The Year of ... paintings I have created. The Chinese astrological
calendar has 12 great animals, one for each month and I painted all of
them. The visual beauty of Chinese calligraphy has always intrigued me
and adds a ‘mystique’ to the painting. Only those familiar with
Chinese calligraphy know this symbol is for ‘happiness,’ which
usually accompanies a martini or two. I thought that the martini
deserved some notoriety after a friend mixed his special recipe for
me.”
