"I would say my favorite living painter is an artist named Michael Newberry. He is a contemporary painter based out of California, and I've been following his career and how he's developed. He has a very exuberant love of life, as well as romance and adventure. He loves looking at the world, so he does a lot of landscapes, some broad, some intimate. He loves the human body, both male and female. What I get from viewing his work is a sense that here is someone who loves the world and loves human beings. He is very skilled at choosing things that I like to look at and spend time with—sometimes a minute, sometimes two minutes, however long I'm looking at a given painting." -Stephen Hicks
