Picasso said he became an artist because he wanted to have his own collection of paintings.  That sounds apocryphal but if he didn’t say it, he should have.<\/p>\n

Beneath the painting of John Parker on The Betty Jane<\/em> is a canvas (linen no less) that went bad.  Oh, it hasn’t gone bad yet, but its glue-white lead ground proved porous and can’t prevent the paint from soaking into the canvas, which is death to a painting.  So I’ve transformed it into a pastel-charcoal drawing.  A couple more sessions should do it.<\/p>\n
