Tribute to Ercolino

Study of Roberto “Roy” and Antonino Ercolino. They are two of many great artists whom I admired the most. Roberto for his abstract conceptual and visionary paintings. Antonino for his masterful handling of pastel medium which is one of my favorite mediums.

Night before Halloween

Myself and my altered ego on the night before Halloween.

Laura and Angie

This is a Pastel portrait of my daughter, the one with brown hair and her neighbor, Laura. We met Laura on the first date my family moved into our new house, 1996. She lives just down the street. She was 6 and my daughter was 5 years old. Every day beside going to school, she dropped by and stayed until her parent got mad and yelled at her to come home. This happened for a period of 5 years. Now, they don't talk to each other even though they are on the same street. Whole issue is due to her chosen words like cursing and swearing which my daughter didn't appreciated at all. Oh well, I guess it's a part of grown-up process and adjustment.

Study of Bill Clinton

This is a studied portrait of Bill Clinton with Pastel which I used several magazines for reference. I did this painting many years ago. Again, I wish I have more times on this one.
