1972, 34 x 24 in.,acrylic on canvas Enough of Arizona, severe without a wife. Back to Santa Barbara in my 1937 Chevrolet school bus. The Great Bend City Bus. Wherever it was parked, it looked like it had been there forever. It's last paint job had been around 1945 or so because the patina was magnificent and unreproductible - for the amount of money that I had paid for it in far off.Florence. Eventually it drew me into having an Art Gallery in Santa Barbara Ca. I had the opportunity to afford a space very close to the main street in town, State Street. We were two doors around the corner of De la Guerra and we had famous Erotic Art Shows in 1971 and 1972, big enough to shut both streets down. The blue dress is the only subject to be considered here. This was painted for the Erotic Art Show at the FAKE gallery 1972 |
