Another example of how I love art history (and the Beach) 😊 An homage to two of my art heroes Michelangelo and Norman Rockwell. 
I snuck it a Michelangelo book (Pic 4) and chose to have the cover be one of my favorite Michelangelo figures from the Sistine Chapel, the Delphic Sibyl, who was described by Ancient Greek writer Pausanias, saying that the Sibyl was "born between man and goddess, daughter of sea monsters and an immortal nymph" which is perfect description for this lifeguard😊
And Rosie’s foot is on the Post she is honouring (Pic 5 - instead of Hitler’s Mein Kampf in Rockwell’s Rosie the Riveter) Rockwell’s original “Rosie” was Mary Doyle Keefe, a 19yr old telephone operator from Arlington, Vermont.  And she did pose for him with a ham sandwich 🥪!
Rockwell posed her in the same position as Michelangelo’s Isaiah on the ceiling of t

I found this old self-portrait in my storage.  It’s at least 20yrs old (almost an antique! 😆)
I remember doing this after my NY / Whitney Museum visit and the inspiring meeting with Chuck Close. 
I was living in my little apartment above a coffee shop and just started teaching at Art Center, Pasadena soon after.  I set up my easel in the bathroom and painted from the old medicine cabinet mirror.
At the time, I was voraciously studying Art History and really absorbed in Ancient Egyptian funeral portraits (see last pic).
Looking back and seeing this after many years, I’d say to myself “Not bad kid! Keep goin:)” It’s all about the journey.

View fullsize Happy Fathers Day to all the hard working Dads out there!
I grew up with horses, dogs, cats, chickens, etc. in a small farm-like setting.  And we had chores to do every morning.
(I ended up drawing the all the animals, but that’s beside the point😬)
One of the things I learned from my father while growing up was to Work Hard; to take pride in your work and do things your best...no matter what task you’re doing.  Thanks Dad💪🏼

View fullsize I continue working on my paintings of the modern versions of the Four Freedoms.
I can’t show much of them these days because of upcoming Publication reasons, but I can give little hints once in a while. (I had to “temporarily” delete my photos of my Freedom of Speech)
More to come on that...
I’m proud to be making these paintings that emphasize the acceptance of diversity in the Country.  Big changes are happening, which is great🙏
