So someone who's never met you before is seeing a different person. That's bound to be the case. We all see something different. I assume most people don't look very hard at anything.
David Hockney
It takes a long time to make it simple.
David Hockney
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
David Hockney
