Who Will Fill Their Shoes?
Last Sunday I had the honor of attending the Colegio Nacional de Periodistas de la Rep_blica de Cuba en el Exilio, Delegaci_n New York - New Jersey Annual Banquet. My friend Arturo Alvarez sponsored me for membership in this great organization and I am very proud to be a member. I could not help but notice that my wife and I were the youngest couple in attendance. The rest of the members were older and some were my fathers age and older. I thought to myself who will continue on this great legacy that has created so many distinguished and legendary people. That question I have often asked of myself at other times and events as my fathers Odd Fellows lodge reunions, and other award celebrations I attend throughout the year…

IF YOU WISH YOUR ART PURCHASE KEPT A SECRET DON "T TELL ANYONE !
Just recently I had to delete a post here on ArtId because the collectors that purchased my work wanted to keep the purchase a secret. It all started simple enough. Three of my paintings were purchased and I was told by the gallery owner that they were purchased by a new museum that was going to open in downtown NYC. Later I was given a museum name that I posted on my blog site because I thought the information was reliable and important. Soon after that I received a phone call telling me it was not purchased by the museum but by the owners of the museum and I was given their names…

My Art is all about God my Family & Friends.
In the past few years I have had a great deal of success and I have to thank God, my family and friends for all of it. I am glad to have had the opportunities to have met many legends in the Art World. Some are no longer with us, but because of the impact that they have had on my life they will always be in my heart and I think of them often when creating my work. Peter Bloch, John Hultberg and Robert Graham are among my Heroes in the art world and I will never forget them. My parents did not own any paintings when I was growing up as we were more into family activities like going to the park every weekend and long vacations in Florida during the summer. Still I did go to the Metropolitan Museum of art during a class trip in grade school…
