Expressionistic art
This is another version of my Panamanian friend. The background is inspired by František Kupka’s Mme Kupka (1910). He was a Czech artist and she his wife. I saw the painting at the Nieu Gallery in NYC, at a special exhibit that included some of Klimt’s famous paintings.
I was at my nephew’s house and he had this hat. It belonged to one of his friends. I guess he’s left it behind. I love these hats!
To see the entire painting clink on ‘Continue Reading’ or the post title. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
This is another version of Panamanian Woman. I got to know my Panamanian friend when we lived in Panama when we were in the Peace Corps. We lived and worked in the mountains and got to know quite a few people in that coffee producing community.
She has become a diva for me. I knew her in Panama. She has a knack for modeling, which aside from being intelligent, friendly and attractive, makes her a delight to paint and draw. I have several other paintings based on her.
Self Portrait of My Own Self With Shaved Head
I shaved my head because I had so little hair left anyway. It was nonetheless a shock to see myself in the mirror, looking so unlike me. No one else seems to think so.
I met her in Panama while we were in the Peace Corps and we kept in touch. She is photogenic!
