In this surreal still life painting, "El
Pintor," an original oil on panel, I am attempting to speak
to the Spirit of the Dia de los Muertos which some call the Day
of the Dead celebration. In life we yearn for way too much, we
are so very busy, but their is time in the heart to want for
those who are no longer with us to have that which made them
who they were. The bones of the Painter ache for paint. I celebrate
the painter by being one and in the case of this painting, by
putting out the basic supplies for "El Pintor" in the
subject matter of this art work.
