To answer Harald's question, Mr. Roberts said that he used Polaroid shots (which, I believe, at that time were black and white only) as a reference. He was such a phenomenal draftsman that he didn't need the most detailed reference material.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908423232774678065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-59366582989385266662011-04-03T14:37:28.848-04:002011-04-03T14:37:28.848-04:00Our family was very close to Morton Roberts, the e...Our family was very close to Morton Roberts, the extraordinary painter, our father, one of his best friends. He lived within a mile of our home in Harrison, NY, and I sat for him and he did my portrait as a very young girl in the early 60's (still have it) and he did one of our mother and and our father, as well as a portrait of a woman in red and of horses---all extraordinary, as he was such a talent. A shame he died so very young. He was heavy-set and I am afraid his heart could not withstand his weight. A lovely man too.Elizabeth Schapernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-31425716463689708032008-01-03T11:57:00.000-05:002008-01-03T11:57:00.000-05:00Wow, this guys stuff is phenomenal.
