William Paxton, 'Self Portrait'

The above Portrait is by William Paxton, 'Self portrait'. He was the long time friend and mentor of R H Ives Gammell. There are some interesting stories and
quotes that are recorded as follows:

Paint as large a piece as possible at once
Seek a noble and ample design
Make the objects swim in the air
