... the "disturbing depths of an ocean,"
as one respected critic has put it...
1:08:05
... but because the art world
deems it the only painting...
1:08:08
... in William Gibbs'
short but brilliant career...
1:08:11
... that wasn't some view,
some study of the garden.
1:08:19
What those high-minded fools
don't know...
1:08:21
... is submerged in the water are some
two dozen sketches of the garden.
1:08:25
His first of my mother,
naked as the back of my hand.
1:08:29
Those he sketched first in pencil...
1:08:32
... then, like a murderer
burying the body...
1:08:36
... drowned in a wash of blue.
1:09:22
Three and a half weeks
William Gibbs...
1:09:25
... spent painting 41 feet
of the ocean's horizon.
1:09:30
It was near about the 11th foot
that it dawned on me...
1:09:34
... that someone who I had perceived
as a link with the outside world...
1:09:38
... had in fact been swallowed
in the quicksand of mine.
1:09:41
Okay, I've got it.
1:09:44
You'll have to check these figures,
but I think...
1:09:47
...including the penalties and
all the interest, we owe $1260.
1:09:51
I'm so sorry.
1:09:53
Don't be sorry, it's not your fault.
1:09:58
You have flour on your face.
