Frank remembered her comment about the drawing of Sara and wondered if she’d like the same things Sara liked. Maybe she would be interested in meeting her, he thought, but decided now wasn’t the time to bring it up.
He laughed lightly at her observation about his subject matter.
“Yes and no, Nataly,” he said. “I do draw landscapes and cityscapes, but not very often. I like rendering them, but I find with people I can go deeper than just a visual image.”
He took another sip.
“And so now I’ll tell you a bit more about me,” he began. “I always liked drawing and painting, from as long ago as I can remember. I found it fascinating that I could take pen or pencil or paint ad create something that looked like what I saw. When I was a teenager, I seriously considered becoming a professional artist. But I also wanted to be rich, and to be rich before I was too old to enjoy it. I realized art wasn’t very likely to get me there, so I looked into ways to get rich and saw trading as the way to go. And so I did.”
“I was - still am - good at trading and got rich. Never gave up the art, though, even did a BFA at the Art Institute of New York. And now being rich leaves me all the time I want for art, and anything else in life I enjoy. I like to travel, to travel in style. I like the arts in general, and I can go to operas, ballets, concerts, museums, any place in the world at any time I want.”
“So, that’s a bit about me. Tell me some more about you. Did you enjoy modeling? How did it make you feel?”
