When I found out about the humanitarian work that the “Inspire Fine Art Center” does for the art community (and how many people they help), I thought to myself that I'd love to be a part of that movement. I'm very proud that two of my paintings were accepted for juried show “Get Inspired for Fiesta”. The juried show is an annual fundraiser with proceeds benefiting community outreach programs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The exhibit will take place at Carver Community Cultural Center from April 7 through April 29, 2016.</div>

My 1st paining: “Summer Day”. This is one of my favorite works. A warm and peaceful summer day depiction. The harmony and peace never fail to comfort me. I imagine myself in the pinewood shades, listening to the birds, feeling the light breeze... always brings a smile to my face.</div>

My 2nd painting: “Flowery Inn”. An interesting story... One spring day my friend and I got lost on a county road in Comal Co. While trying to get re-oriented, I saw a sign: 'Stagecoach Inn'. We decided to stop and ask for directions. Getting further lost didn't seem to be a good idea. This was not an ordinary inn. It's one of the oldest homesteads in Texas... built from 1840-1860's. The owner gave us a tour and told us how her and her husband rebuild the place into a B&B. I felt like I had been transported back in time! Just an old gray house, wild flowers by the fence, and a feeling of grandmother rocking in a corner keeping an eye on things. This was my inspiration for "Flowery Inn".</div>

Yes, it's been a while since my last posting. But I'm back!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I would like to share with you two of my drawings from my new collection from San Antonio Museum of Art.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First: Study “Sorrow”, Pencil, 11x14.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was a bust-size sculpture of a woman by John Gutzon Borglum (American, 1867-1941). Mr. Borglum is better known as the creator of Mt. Rushmore. This woman sculpture inspired me with it's deep lines under her eyes as well as her clenched jaw. I get the feeling of great sorrow and pain from this work.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Second: “Study of Diego Rivera”, Pencil, 11x14</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dos Mujeres is one of Diego Rivera’s (Mexican, 1886-1957) greatest cubist works. Rivera painted this while in Paris in 1914. It is a double-portrait consisting of Rivera’s first wife Russian born Angelina Beloff and Russian-Cuban painter Alma Dolores Bastian. On my fragment of this painting, you can see the portrait of the beautiful woman. This was my first attempt in cubism. It was challenging, but very enjoyable.</div>

Hi Everybody<br />
This time I have two of my latest paintings to talk about.<br />
First is Mission San Juan Capistrano, medium Acrylic and size 11x14.<br />
It is one of the fourth of my painting of San Antonio Missions. I always like old buildings and this mission attracted me by it's simplicity and delicate architecture of an old church.<br />
This painting is for sale and on display in River Art Group gallery in LaVillita.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
My next painting is like a trip to my childhood and name of it is Flowery Inn,<br />
medium Acrylic and size 11x14.<br />
It is the Inn from last century at the road reminding me the house of my grandmother.<br />
Where all the fragrance of Spring gets together and invites you. Where you are going<br />
back to your warmest memory of childhood...<br />
Now is for sale and on display in New Braunfels Art League gallery located at<br />
239 W San Antonio, New Braunfels, TX 78130.<br />
<br />

Last Year
my friend and I lost in New Braunfels and stopped at B&B Inn on Hunt Rd for
directions,<br />
the place was like a glimpse from the past and the owner was so
friendly, she walked us through the territory, showed us the rooms and told
story about how she and her departed husband rebuild the 1872 year homestead
into a B&B Inn. The atmosphere of that place stood with me like I visited my
grandma... <br />
Thank you all for the support and kind words about my
