Sorry about the quality of the photo, but this is one strange painting. I found this in a consignment shop. I think it's glorious. I love the energy of it. Doesn't it look like an angry ocean? Yet up close you realize that it's two craggy hills enshrouded in mist.
Unfortunately, it was a little too energetic when I had it by the side of my bed. In the interests of getting some sleep, I had to stow it away until I can find some other place to display it. I took two pictures of it when I was taking pictures of Packrat's acquisition next door. Neither picture appeared on my computer, although all the others did. Today, I managed to get the pictures, if somewhat skewed. When I went to upload it on the blog the first time, it wouldn't work. I see the germs of a scary story here. I was half afraid that I'd see a face in the picture. Yup, I'm a superstitious Cuban.
Alberto Falcon, the artist, was born in Havana in 1935 and, surprise, later lived in the states. Other than places he exhibited, etc..., I have very little information.
