Puros Y Vino Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 One of the things I was naturally blessed with, besides dashing good lucks, was some artistic ability. As a kid I'd draw, paint, sculpt, etc. In my 20's i discovered IT and made a career out of it and kinda forgot about art. Through the next decade or so I did the odd sketch or watercolor but never really gained momentum. This summer I decided to change that. I signed up for a gallery show. That gave me a deadline and the incentive to create something! This Thursday I deliver my two canvases to the gallery. They are below. Be kind. It's been a while. A bit of a surreal/abstract work. Did this one right on the canvas, no presketch, just powered through it. This one might seem familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigFish Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I see the top one as George Washington. His face is in the left brain and the cherry, and the brainstem tree.

IcedCanuck Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Nice Art Frank, looks good bro and I usually couldn't give a rat's posterior about art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckSARTech Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 They'll be going for $250 each at the gallery. We'll see if I get any takers. Paint on an LE Cohiba band, and add an extra zero onto the end of that number - Art'll grab it up. He's rabid like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puros Y Vino Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks for all the kid words folks. Here's one more painting. I'm donating this one to the herf. It's a basic panel painting, illustrating the growing, harvesting, making and eventual enjoyment of a cigar. Set to a rich brown tobacco background and then adorned with cigar bands that were collected at previous herfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
