The statement
# Artist's Statement
I have painted a long table drawn out beneath the open sky, surrounded by friends in fellowship — yet I confess I cannot help but see the gathering through the lens of our common frailty. No writings of mine survive to explain my pictures; I can only show what lies beneath the surface of human conviviality. As the learned José de Sigüenza understood, I paint not to delight in monstrosity but to hold up a mirror to the soul's hidden appetites.
The table stretches diagonally across the panel, pulling the eye through a panorama of countless small incidents — a raised cup here, a whispered confidence there, a hand reaching greedily for the platter. I have worked rapidly, with thin, fluent layers over a lively underdrawing, so that the whole remains light and airy even as I crowd it with detail. The earthly greens and warm browns of the ranch darken subtly at the edges, hinting at what waits beyond the lantern-light. The viewer should wander among these figures as through *The Garden of Earthly Delights*, finding in each face and gesture a reflection of appetite, vanity, or true friendship — the choice of which to see is theirs.
