That would be Jose Samano Torres

You are lovely, many thanks.
Your Aunt Mark

no that is an acute accent...
no that is an acute accent over the first "a" in Sámano. Spanish orthography requires the acute to indicate that the first syllable is stressed instead of the default penultimate syllable.

that's the right guy, whatever his name is.
I like the abstract painting, I really do.
But seeing his other stuff reminds me once again how it always gets to me when I see that an artist has done all four: still life, landscape, portraits, and "abstracts", dabbling in each as if they are all pre-fab genres that need to be checked off.
How come there is never anything in between? Or some overlapping weird stuff?
Perhaps it is because they are the "big four" categories of painting, and artists feel pressure to prove themselves in each? I still wish he only did one thing, rather than everything. Rant over.

My bad
Posted a moment too late apparently. I beg your pardons.

Many thanks all,
Aunt Mark
ps drinks are on me...order up.

I am guessing we will get a photo of it nuzzing up against the wheel cover, but I think it merits an indoor location. Its a very strong painting, from what I can see.
PS Damn, that was a fast edit Mark! (I was answering your question about putting it outdoors next to the hubcap.)

hack...Spit. Sorry EH
I am such a forum fool. I need to retire my edit button and lay down..or perhaps receive a sharp karate chop over my thin skull...or something.
Too hi, way
Aunt Mark
