    A wrapped-up loaf of bread.... I loved the way that Parisi’s Bakery, a sandwich shop at 198 Mott Street, wrapped bread when I moved into Little Italy thirty-five years ago. The loaf was centered on a large piece of white butcher paper, the paper folded carefully and wisely, and then the package tied with a long strip of thin baker’s string. So one day I bought a loaf of bread and took it home to draw.

    We were drawing each other simultaneously in the studio on Kingshighway in St. Louis. The window behind on the left is open at the bottom. thus the bright out-of-doors colors. A lesson learned from my first painting teacher,Tanasko Milovich, was that there is no way to show the contrast of the bright out-of-doors to the dark indoors, there being too great a difference.
