España: Cartas de Amor 1986-2024

Estoy infectado con un "virus" que no tiene cura. Es el "virus de España". La única manera de sostenerme es de pasar largos ratos de mi vida en España. Me encanta este lugar, mi hogar por los últimos 38 años. Esta colección tiene algunos cuadros pintados en España a lo largo del tiempo entre 1986 a 2024. Los pueblos, costumbres, su arte y sobre todo sus gentes me inspiran. España, siempre te has portado bien conmigo. ¡Gracias!

Project CReA International and the Treftpunkt Gallery are sponsoring an exhibit of my paintings from the collection: Making the Invisible Visible. The exhibit opens on Friday PM, 02 December in Berlin, Germany.

visual jam session

December 4, 1956; Memphis, Tennessee: Four young and as yet only moderately successful artists met in the studios of Sun Records. They soon gathered around a piano and began an impromtu jam session singing mostly Gospel and a little blues. Someone had the good sense to turn on the microphones and record the event. Those young singers, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins was later called the "Million Dollar Quartet." 

Musicians understand that when they play together for the sheer joy of their art, creative energy is released that can lift each one involved. this new series celebrates some of the themes that are close to my heart; music (especially jazz), friendship, improvisation and dare I say it, love. I hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed making it.
