Buenas Noches, 2013. 12" x 16". Acrylic, gold leaf on canvas paper.
Painted after the death of my Grandfather. I was the first born grandchild and was gifted lots of time and attention from him. He made me spiral bound comic books cut from Sunday papers, creatures made of colorful thread and corn husks. He gave me a desire to learn about culture, discover science, value knowledge. He was a science teacher and had little collections of fossils in painted over cigar boxes. Summers spent at his house in south Georgia make up some of my best childhood memories.
When I was a kid his night time goodbye was, "Buenas noches." Gracias por todo.
