My first paintings...



The landscape is from 1988, my very first. My teacher Steve Repa did the grey strokes. He taught me more than any other, he died of cancer the following year. (ironically, the blame was put on the non-ventilated art room keln, he was a master potter). The woman was 2000, my 2nd oil (and my first Label exhibit). Just a warning, I`m going through the archives- more to come.

ineresting to post these together..

it's like their the same painting, one in red and one in blue, with the same values.

The landscape holds a simplicity, or a calm that your work doesn't usually have(at least the stuff I've seen)

Keep it coming dude. I'd post some of my old work but I burnt it all and Carlos lost the video. :(
