“The Poet, ” by Bea Garth, copyright 2010
“I painted this portrait at Al Preciado’s poetry/music and painting fest at Works Gallery in San Jose, CA–three days after the quake in Haiti. Performance poet Roberto Tinoco Duran was busy painting at my right, so it was only natural to paint him. This was my first foray into painting a semi realistic portrait since 1983. Its now his–a gift for the New Year!” –Bea Garth

Kudos 2u Bea…i thank thee for the piece…FYI it’s hanging in a good home @Prospect studios…

Thanks Roberto. Have been taking some time off Eos and all things arts organizational. However may get roped back into it mid September. We’ll see. Certainly I will get back to Eos and plan to go to Works and some of Al’s shindigs. Have been doing some painting plus learning hypnotherapy. Still love the painting I did of you. It was one of those moments. Just don’t “hang yourself” over it!
