Moon Kiss

Several years ago I painted a version of this painting as a gift for my wife Sandy. (It is currently on loan to her son) It has gotten so much interest that I decided to paint a series based on the original. (I rarely paint a painting twice) To date I have painted two versions besides the original. This one is oil on canvas and 8x8x3 inches deep. (it also makes a handy little shelf for my carved self portrait, I think I might keep it)

Lorison's Garden

There is an older gentleman from Los Algodones that I used to see working his garden plot on a daily basis. (out behind the clinic where the new houses are now being built) He would often came and give Sandy and myself a wide smile and a hug and shake his finger at us while laughing. In particular I remember his hands, they showed the marks of years of hard labour and where like iron when he shook my hand. His name is "Lorison" and this is a painting of him. I call it "Lorison's Garden"
