Another in the series of paintings based on drawings done at the Palau de la Musica in Valencia, Spain. The audience waits expectantly as the musicians arrive. Valencia has a long and powerful tradition of symphonic bands and offer many free concerts each year. This is a smaller hall and here you can listen to more traditional music.
A night club scene, in fantasy.

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.
Continuing with the “Visit to Picasso” theme, this expands on the couple in the background in the original.
