That, combined with the subtle tilt of the glass, almost rivets the viewer's attention to it, yet discreetly prompts the mind to ponder the mood of the dinner table, the topics of conversation, the nature of the participants and the course of food yet to come or having been consumed. The mind is not forced to contemplate the participants, not so much because of the absence of them, other than the arms, but by the nature of the glass and shadows. The soft ambience is alluring. Is it the artist or the lawyer that brings out such subtle nuance??; 7/29/05, 9:19 AM

The boxes were full of Shoju- kind of like sake... Were you drinking thaT?; 7/29/05, 3:46 PM
