He and his wife worked at home but in separated space to keep efficiency. Honest, meticulously and friendly, those characters reflected in his painting. No child and do not care about it.
* Tom the music lover
I met him at a symphony at the third raw of side wing. After I mentioned that I need a model for my painting, he agreed without a doubt,also did when he showed me a Japanese sword, asking me to read those inscription. A oil portrait of his father caught my attention, a colonel.
Then I was able to know that he met a girlfriend on internet, who has some similarity with him: both of them divorced twice, and another one of health. They will be in union soon.
* Tom the textile dealer
After seven years I finally saw his family and my paintings. His daughter, I joked then: I'm ten days "younger" than you, when she was 6 years old. With Norwegian blood, she was more friendly than other girls.
Tom's former wife, is one of few wives who gave me a hug.
Tom went to China often, brought back a pair of folk art looking of child faces oils by a female artist Xu Jie in Shanghai. Two years, he was looked for her after seeing ad of her works.
