#23", part of my brush drawing collection spanning over some 30 years and consisting of several thousand drawings and prints.*these have never been shown before. All are drawn on arches paper and in spite of aging are in excellent condition. Hope you will enjoy them as much as we revisit them after all these years
thank you!
p.s. I will number them for my own record keeping; they are not in order for some are private and others may not be suitable for viewing for all ages.
*distorted due to glare on glass; otherwise colors are quite accurate. This painting has been widely exhibited and praised for it's originality. I am posting it here for my flickr. friends who have expressed a desire to see some of my earlier works. The original title was: "el manisero de Panama" and was inspired by the great Xavier Cugat: youtu.be/QVTvZxN_t0A It is privately owned
p.s. on a note of interest, when it was originally shown at the McKenzie gallery, fresh roasted peanuts were served, a clever idea by the McKenzies for the peanuts were heavily salted so that prospective buyers would refill their glasses of margaritas prompting them to buy. Of course one would never know if they bought art because they liked it or because they were drunk.
*With the set I shall include close-ups and B.W. scans; would appreciate to hear comments from my friends which they like best. thank you!p.s. best seen on black; for either version when published in book form will be framed in black.
*with latest "patient" to be painted.
p.s. sorry to confess very few of my "patients" have survived my brushes.
*from a selection of sketches, drawings and portraits of people known to artist, their dreams, anxieties and life styles as perceived by artist. Sketchbooks are the diaries artists carry in their heads until put on paper, they are not copies of other people's art and are not made to please anyone except artist who may or my not use them in future for the making of art. They are neither good or bad; I don't even know if they can be categorized as art, all i know they are revealing to what we feel within ourselves and what we think of those that have influenced our art. The portraits are not as they or the world sees them but as we perceive them to be. In short they are nothing but impressions of them at the moment which can often change within minutes or hours. There are some of course who never change for the better or worse. When viewing set, should anyone be interested in the character or image drawn, you are welcome to question them in my comment box and I will gladly answer your queries.
Thank you!
*"since the day we are born we are given a roll of film which continues to record all important events of our lives; the pleasant memories we visit often and as we travel through life, they appear to get better all the time, so much so that we refer to them as the "good ol times" As we near the end of our lives, it stops to narrate, the good, gets hazy and the film starts to roll up and the images that appear are those we have avoided to look at; it is those years that cause us the most grief; worst of all, they get stuck and repeat themselves over and over until they snuff the life out of us"
