Artist admits love of old fashioned ideals "Personally," he said last week, taking a break from his current project â€" a large, cube truck parked in his driveway, "I would love to be back 500 years in the Renaissance time.

I don‘t see any talâ€" ent in that. They are very strange, weird people." His own obsession is with detail, he says, with realism. He wants his paintings to say something precise and lasting. Many people will find these intemâ€" perate remarks disconcerting â€" others will think them refreshing. (This is why we have artists, after all.)
