Daily Life in Red

The purpose
of art is
washing
the dust of
daily life
off our souls.
...Pablo Picasso


My homage to R. Kenton Nelson. This is my favorite artist. R. Kenton Nelson is an American painter and muralist from California. I love his nostalgic take on life and it’s simplicity in form. I have a print of his hanging in the family room. When I was in Pasadena last Fall, I wanted to find out his address and drive by his studio/house but ran out of time. I really am not a stalker but a fan of his work. :)
Very nice on black.

You can read more about him below, if interested:

I think Margo got this wrong when she threw "The Winner" to Casablanca! This is a knockout, Cathee, and well-deserves to be enlarged and hung on a wall in your home! FABULOUS +++++!
