For centuries artists have enhanced the rooms in which we live, dine and come together, accentuating the feeling of giving in to the indulgence of the senses. An oil painting has a very tactile quality, a human touch that not only mirrors the preparation of a meal but also the human quest for beauty and multi-sensual experiences. Murals can transport us to another place and time as few other decorations can. Here, in the dining room of a friend's Central Park West apartment, that tradition is writ large...giving new meaning to the phrase 'when your eyes are bigger than your stomach'.
