Couple Embraces II – In Love with Love
In the Enamorado con Amor/ In Love with Love series, expressions of affection. Background reminiscent of Kupka’s “Madame Kupka.” Without love, where would we be now?
Couple Dances IV
This is another in the Enamorado con Amor/ In Love with Love series, expression of affection in this case as in some of the other coming by means of dance. Background reminiscent of Kupka’s “Madame Kupka.”
Eclipsing Couple (in chiaroscuro)

Couple Snuggling in Bed
Another in the Enamorado Con Amor/In Love with Love series. Part of love is intimacy, but of course not all intimacy denotes love. Here it does, and the couple sparkles in the play of light and shadow.
The pigments used in pastels are the same as those used to produce all colored art media, including oil paints. The binder has a neutral hue and low intensity.
Pastel is challenging because it is mixed and blended on the paper or other surface. Colors cannot be tested on a palette although with the new powder pastels you can. This work was done with sticks. Changes are not easy to make, as you can not just paint over things.
In use since the Renaissance, they were very popular in the 18th century. My favorite pastel painter is Renoir.
Two Men Dance
Another in the series of the “Pareja Enamorado con Amor/Couple in Love with Love” series explores the world of same sex love and romance.
Love takes many forms. We should not oppress it but encourage its flowering and deepen the bonds that hold us together.
Pareja Enamorada/Couple in Love — Women Embrace 1 and II
Women Embrace 1 and II
This part of the “Pareja Enamorado con Amor/Couple in Love with Love” series explores the world of same sex love.
Women Embrace 1
Love takes many forms. We should not oppress it but encourage its flowering and deepen the bonds that hold us together.
Couple Dances III
The third “Couples Dance” in the Amor series.
Pareja: Enamorado con Amor (Couple: In Love With Love) III
The third and probably the final of this couple embracing, this one more shimmery than the others.
Love takes many forms and we can always use more and can never have too much. We should not oppress it but encourage its flowering and deepen the bonds that hold us together.
Couple Dances II
This addition to the Amor series explores again affection expressed in dance. The first version of the dancing couple relied upon contours and left the background starkly white. Here I’ve eliminated the outlining and given the background a stark treatment.
