"Poodle"

This title of this painting is more about the guy than the dogs. "Poodle" 24" x 24" Acrylic on canvas Poodles, Tony

"Floating"

This painting is a lot like my "Don't Forget to Say "Wheeee" painting, but I wanted to portray a whole bed full of Juniors and Rosies, my dogs, this time. And.....after a lot of nudging from various people, I decided to let a company print some of my images on greeting cards, and T-shirts and some other things. Those can be seen HERE.

"Family"

I guess the title says all it needs to say in showing how I feel about my two chihuahuas. Together, they're 20 pounds of pure love. "Family"  "20" x 24" Copperleaf and Acrylic on Canvas The Daddy,  TONY

"Saint Harvey"

I wonder where this country would be without ambition. Without dreams, drive and inspiration. Without goals, hopes, and a vision for a better future, and a fairer tomorrow. I wonder where this country would be without the ambition of Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Thomas Edison, Franklin Roosevelt, Barack Obama and Gavin Newsom. I will answer my rhetorical question: it would be country filled with mediocre conservatives whose only hope is that nothing will ever change, whose only vision is to delay, obstruct and tear down. "Saint Harvey" 24" x 30" Goldleaf and Acrylic on Canvas Update: My painting "Saint Gavin" got totally trashed by FedEx, during a shipment to a beloved Palm Springs buyer. It was returned to me with a 24" gash down the center of it, the stretcher bars broken, and the outer box looking like it had been ripped in two. I painted "Saint Harvey Milk" as a replacement for the buyer, and never sent the image out. This is the first and only public display of "Saint Harvey". I vowed to never use FedEx again, and it's become a running joke with a couple of friends I told the story to. One of them emailed me a pic of a filthy FedEx truck they saw lumbering and stumbling down the streets of London Town. Actually, I sent TWO Fed Ex packages off the same week, and BOTH were damaged, but only "Gavin" was destroyed, as if one of their trucks ran over it and then back up over it. The other "Virgin de los Perritos" also arrived damaged, with holes in the boxes. The collector said the canvas had been pushed and had bumps in it, but no rips or holes. Oh! Did I forget to mention, when I dropped the two paintings off for shipment, FedEx said they no longer insure artwork and I'd have to get a private art insurance company? FUCK THEM AND THE DEAD HORSE THEY ROAD IN ON. THEY HAVE LOST MY BUISNESS.

"Adam and Yves"

This painting is along the lines of my "Adam and Steve" series, but since I've already used the that title for one of paintings, this is "Adam and Yves". I'm sure my listening to the recent news of the California Supreme Court hearing the case to strike out the dreadful Prop 8, caused the topic of gay marriage to find it's way back into my psyche and manifest itself in this painting.

"House O'Dogs"

It's a little hard for me to resist letting images of my two dogs work their way into my paintings, when they're within inches of me nearly every minute of the day. So, I just let them go wild in this painting, without restraint, using my current living room as the background. "House O' Dogs" 24" x 30" Acrylic on Canvas With a big love for little dogs, TONY

"Sweet Pete"

I had only lived in this house a few days when someone knocked on my door. It turned out to be someone running for mayor of Savannah, asking for my vote. He was trounced in the election, but we remained friends ever since. He is a pilot, refurbishing his own plane himself, and asked me to fly to Miami with him next spring. The plane looks more like a bicycle with wings, but I'll probably end up going with him. And probably end up crashing with him.This is/was my first friend in Savannah.
