MAGGIE MUNDIAL

artist everett raymond kinstler lives a town over from me, but no one sees his house tucked back in the forest. buried behind the trees he's got a private studio too, where he creates masterful portraits- that is, of course, when he's not painting the president in the oval office, or katherine hepburn from her barn.
i tease my stepdad for never leaving town, but i was quite astounded with his knowledge of local treasures when he brought me along to visit his old friend ev last week.









incidentally, ev is so charming! and when i asked him if dali had posed for him live, he laughed and told me that a portrait copied from another portrait isn't a portrait at all- that he always painted his subjects in person. dali? drew him in art school when he was 23.
