Dog Bull Fight: Sold

This is a mixed media painting, primitive-surrealist style, and minimum texture. In one way or another, my energetic dogs contributed to the creation of this very unambiguous piece. One of my newsest art collectors from England bought it, and his excitement seemed very obvious. I was standing outside of the gallery when my collector approached me to tell me that he had purchased Dog Bull Fight a few minutes earlier. His happy face matched the enthusiasm of his British accent when he told me, The Painting is mine. I bought it. I found myself, like always, with very little to say, but I did manage to express my gratitude. So the piece is gone, but the inspiration stays with me. Thus I shall continue my artistic journey.

Soul Taker: Little Shanty House

Mixed media on paper, this particular piece has broaden the horizon of my creative instincts and techniques. Thus Soul Taker is for sure a nonconformist individual who doesn't necessarily live in a bushy jungle (even though there are evident traces of it following him). For some people this may come across like a very imposing (authoritative) or scary painting to say the least. I, personally, find it enormously interesting because it did cause me to get out of my relatively comfort zone as an artist. The feeling of this new approach to my artistic journey doesn't threaten me at all. I enjoyed the process, and I'll be fascinated to meet the buyer of this distinctive artwork.

Moon-Sun Party: Little Shanty House Gallery

Watercolor on paper in abstract-primitive style, this art piece has vibrant colors. Enjoyment tends to motivate most of my work day or night (sunny or moony). Thus passionate energy is always present in my artwork due to the enthusiasm my paintings like my sculptures depict. It is my believe that there is always something to make us laugh, to make us happy, and to live for. Therefore, I hope you enjoy this art journey as much as I have.

Fatty and Sleek: At Little Shanty, Sold

Oil on canvas, very thick rich texture (which in other posts I have stated it is pretty much my artistic signature). I created Fatty and Sleek first with a computer program. The drawing entertained me because the characters weren't serious, but just there giving me a laugh. Thus I gave it a thought and decided to canvas it with oils. The painting can be for children or adults who haven't lost the child within them. This piece like some others will go to the gallery to be sold there, and without a frame because the edges are part of the painting. I, for sure, had a lot of fun working on it, and now that's finished I have to let it go.
