Both paintings were done in 1985 in mid-town Houston. They are both medium large scale, acrylic on canvas. I graduated from ETSU and temporarily returned to Houston...then Love happened. I met my
future wife, Lucy Garate, a beautiful, powerful, 39 year old, red headed Latina from Argentina. Though we are no longer married, she has been an inspiration and a constant muse ever since. Mid town
Houston was a dodgy area at that time. I got a tiny studio at Midtown Art Center (10'x12'). The neighborhood looked like a crisis zone. Lots of trash, graffiti, and abandoned vehicles. There is
beauty in everything...especially for one in love.
