"The Boxer, New Mexico"

A boxer outside in the snow seems about as out of place as I feel here. But here it is......... "Boxer, New Mexico" 24" x 36" 23K Goldleaf, Acrylic on Canvas Boxingly Yours, TONY

"Three With Callas"

This is the second painting I painted on top of an old one. The original, nine years old, was painted after I toured the old Lincoln Heights jail after being asked to create an art installation in one of the cells there. (I went and saw it, got creeped out, and never created one). The air of oppression in that jail overwhelmed me, but inspired me to create a painting of several prisoners in jail. It was a depressing image to me, and I was glad to finally let it go and be replaced with an image more uplifting that I wanted to move with me across country. I've just about got my home ready to be listed for sale, and as soon as it does, I'll be moving to Savannah, probably sometime this summer. I'm not happy about uprooting myself yet again and moving another 1,600 miles, but I know I'll be thrilled to get there and am looking forward to settling down for awhile and staying put.

"Isidro's Plants"

I had Isidro sit for me for about 90 seconds as I did a quick sketch of him onto the canvas for this painting. The background is plants he loves to put together from small thrift store items he finds and drills holes in......ceramic boxes, salt and pepper shakers, tiny clay pots, just about anything he can find. I've got them all hanging indoors since it still gets too cold outside at night for them. Maybe next month they can finally move outdoors again. And me too.
