I would watch him work.

actually become a part of the

My favorite part of Child’s
Toy is the way the afternoon
light falls across the toy in
the doorway: You wonder
where the child has gone. I've
always thought my art resem-
bled the dark side of Norman
Rockwell. I also admire
Edward Hopper. MG ■
