Artist's Comments

Cafe du Soleil.

M.C. Escher, Relativity.

This drawing is pure fantasy. I was experimenting with blending two concentric circles, which turned into a nice wide-brimmed summer hat. The drawing developed from there. The perspective is bizarre.

A week before I started this drawing I had watched a movie about the life of the Dutch artist M.C. Escher (1898-1972), whose graphic experiments with perspective are famous and notorious. One of his drawings is on the right.
