029 “Well Read, Well Worn” Acrylic on MDF, 5″ x 7″
I didn’t read much as a kid, and it was not till my wife started reading to my kids every night that I became interested in reading. I began with classic children’s stories—which I’d never read—and worked my way up from there. I’ve read every night for decades. All of these books are the same play: “Cyrano de Bergerac,” by Rostand, published over the last 100 years. Different translations, one in French, and one illustrated by Nino Carbe (Disney’s “Fantasia,” Shelly’s “Frankenstein”) in 1931. Do you have a favorite author?
