He answered the phone and we talked for several minutes. I asked him if he had ever painted nudes in his long career, and he said yes, he had. I asked him if he had signed his name "Tyrus", and he said yes. I asked him if he had ever done black velvet paintings, and he told me he had painted on many mediums, but he was now 97 years old and could not specifically remember if he had actually done black velvet.
