Man in Blue (1966)

12x16 Pastel 

As much as my father loved his unique pallet of orange tones, Blue tones were important to him and the paintings he created. 

1966  was an important time in my father's life. After recovering from a health threat and giving up his advertising agency, he began a new journey. He released his first lithographs, and galleries asked for his original art. He was slow in producing his art and spent weeks preparing sketches and canvases(boards) for art that held meaning to him. He did not paint or draw what distributors or galleries requested and stayed true to his vision throughout his lifetime.
