Paul Pettiford had once been a dancer in the Alvin Ailey dance troupe of New York City. When I met him, he taught dance at The Three Schools of Art in Toronto, where I worked and studied. (classes were free for employees- those were the days!) I was struck by his beauty and felt compelled to paint him.

保罗·佩蒂福德曾是纽约市艾尔文·艾利舞蹈团的一名舞蹈演员。我遇见他时，他在多伦多的三艺术学校教舞蹈，我当时在那里工作和学习。（员工可以免费上课——那是多么美好的时光啊！）他的美貌让我震撼，我忍不住画下他。
