Qi contacted me about adoptng Factor and kindly offered an exchange. I liked this piece the first time I saw it but it's even is finer in person, more subtle and inviting almost like a secret. The fact that it is executed in correction fluid puts a smile on my face.

Qi arranged a great dinner meeting at Joe's Shanghai in Chinatown since he was near the end of his visit to NY. 7 of us including 4 FAAN members. We talked about getting involved in various projects. Very stimulating....another beginning.

The portrait is hanging now in our home office. I look forward to placing it in a frame I intend to bring from my studio storage.
Thank you Qi.

I met with Dave and he is an awesome artist. I exchanged this for Factor and it is remarkable that he will provide a wonderful home for this fine piece. Monochrome figuration is the future eh?

Joe's Shanghai was fabulous as we got to meet up with other FAAN members such as niki and audra :)
