The beautiful landscapes of Puerto Rico, Europe and the United States have particularly influenced my paintings as I depict imagery of daily living, fruit markets and architecture. Memories acquired from my native island of Puerto Rico and her culture inspires my artwork. Acquired by The University of Texas at San Antonio Art Collection. I begin by taking photos of objects that I gravitate to and places I have traveled to and blend them with personal memories.

Pastel, oil, and occasional drawings. Monday, August 3, 2015. One of my demos from the CA workshop. I cropped and color adjusted a pic from the morning drive on the Thursday before when my friend Michele took me a winding scenic route through some hills to the coast. Being my strong area, this painting went through its own winding visual progressions before I finally had to cut myself off! Sunday, August 2, 2015.

And what, sir, is the subject. Matter of that painting? The subject matter, my dear. Good fellow, is the light. Portraits and Fine Art in Pastel. I like this a lot, especially the shapes, and the warms and cools. The alizarins and greens are striking. The temperature shifts are exceptional.
