Doodler Work Put on Display NEW YORK (flJ--Thpugh thousands of often solitary restaurant meals, dress manufacturer Lou Oppenbeim amused himself and whiled away the hours with spur- 1 of-the-moment sketches of the people around him. Using the tablecloth or a napkin, he would draw facile pencil or pen likenesses of strangers-or sometimes he would draw upon his imagination and create splendid figures of primitive people. Doesn't this artistic doodling on tablecloths annoy restaurant people? "I can honestly say that no one has ever objected or com plained, and many many times the manager or waitress will present the sketch to the ger son I've used for a model or ask me to sign it if it is some other kind of drawing," heim says. As president and founder of the Strand-Woodstock a a i Co. of Barrington, 111., the 60- year-old bachelor is comfortably off and would never consider accepting payment for any drawing.

"I couldn't make a living a this in any way," he says, I don't consider myself an artist. Bembrandt is an artist, Toulouse- Lautrec is an artist. 1 am a doodler."

"But I have been sketching ever since," Oppenheim says. "I like to work on materials like tablecloths and a i because of the texture. I imagine I done thousands of such drawings in the last 40 years." Since he Is his firm's sole salesman, Oppenheim finds himself away from Barrington for long periods. He divides his time among Chicago, New York and Miami. And so he finds himselfl taking all his meals in restaurants.

Consequently he does his drawings in such places. "I spend as little time as possible in my hotel room and the only time I will ever draw there is if the weather is so bad I cannot leave the hotel," he says.
