A few thoughts on Art.



A painting that belonged to R ic (dad). It was one of my favourites. Seems he had an eye for art, but claims not to have had the talent. The artist's name is Dino Valls. There was another painting I liked but didn't snap a picture of, by an artist named Santiago Carbonell. Funny that we went around snapping pictures of the house and all the artwork when no one was looking.

Dad had several Richard MacDonald bronze sculptures throughout his home. A few were beautiful, but they were too much of the perfect female form and the perfect male form. Perfection becomes boring. Cliche. The dancer that can be found on this pagehttp://www.artviewcarmel.com/galleries/display_listings.php is one that he owned. I think it was his favourite.
