I haven’t posted in a week, but more art will be coming soon. I was painting in South Pasadena last weekend, follwed by an out of town trip followed by a close relative having a serious stroke. I’ve been painting in the midst of it all but there hasn’t been time to get it shot [...]
Descanso Gardens Path 9.7 x 7.6 inches Acrylic on paper SOLD People often ask me what the word “Descanso” means. It comes from the Spanish verb, descansar meaning “to repose or rest”.
