He is a model of discipline and excellence. Although I only spent roughly 20 hours in his studio watching him work and listening to his views on beauty and painting, I will always hear his voice in my head as I paint. I am forever thankful for that opportunity\u0022. \u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan style=\u0022color: #1d2129; font-family: \u0027Helvetica Neue\u0027, Helvetica, Arial,
