Spirit of America

SPIRIT OF AMERICA

24" x 36"

Oil on Canvas

As evening descends on the great America West, mother and child embrace, hoping for a tender future.

"Summer Camp"

by Juan Romagosa

Faith hugging hope 

pure,

freely feathers forming

pink.

Meditating deeply

mother and daughter

intense,

contemplating destiny unfolding

before them together

in time;

strongly in faith hoping

in life.

Beckoning water

cleansing Spirits

plunge

past, present future

expunge.

Drawing skyward

under wing,

pulling downward

into will,

truths hiding

from the world

spirits tenderly burying

their souls

in nature's love.

Lupo and Felicia Reve

LUPO ET FELICIA REVE

11x14

Oil on Canvas

The interplay of light and dark, male and female, hard and soft, day and night: the yin/yang of the human condition is illustrated in the style of the romantic realists.

"The Heart is a Lonely Hunter"

 Seeking

feline

canine

searching.

 Gaping chasms

separating hearts

across great divides:

longing.

 Howling man reaching;

prowling maid stretching:

great strides breaching.

 Healing man preaching:

human spirit rising

Hearts confiding:

silver orb

aspiring.

Lupo and Felicia Reve were very well received at the San Rafael Food and Wine Festival.  Perhaps because it was a full moon..... Thank you Art Collector!  You know who you are ;)

Promethea- Birth on the Rocks

Promethea- Birth on the Rocks

Oh Prometheus!

You stole from Olympus on high

delivering fire so low.

Your reward your plight:

eternally boulder bound.

Where is your relevance today?

What Earthly creature will replace;

precious spark from gripping hands

be ripped this day?

Oh Daughter of Man!

You pinched essence from most high,

delivering life below.

Your issue your light,

forever on rocky mound.

Man's hope your delight:

eternally fate unbound.

Like Prometheus who stole fire from ancient Greek Gods for mankind, only to be chained to mount Olympus for his audacity a very pregnant woman makes her to Lovers Point, Pacific Grove, California sensing her moment to come.  There, before Heaven and Earth, nature threatens to overcome her and biological forces from time immemorial take over to deliver new life, the promise of life, a new hope for mankind.

This painting was featured in the San Rafael Food and Wine Festival and did extremely well. 
Thank you dear Art Collector! (You know who you are;).

San Rafael Food (Art) & Wine Festival

We'll be in San Rafael this Saturday in the heart of Marin County at the historic Falkirk Mansion

San Rafael is the County seat and its downtown has the look and feel of midsize prosperous California towns such as Livermore, or the larger Walnut Creek: quaint and gentrified.  Its history going back to to the Spanish Colonial years prior to the Gold Rush, complete with a Mission and still active Catholic Church.    Nineteenth century urban planners laid it out using the grid, resulting in a reliable walking experience with a vibrant main street: Fourth Street.  Walking here street yields the prerequisite coffee houses, art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and watering holes.  A couple of blocks North is Mission Ave., along which way are more institutional type buildings such as Missions, Banks, Libraries and assorted Mansions of the Victorian, Queen Ann, and Edwardian variety.

This is where Romagosa Fine Arts will set up Saturday displaying its collection of original fine arts and photography; at the Flakirk Cultural Center, home of Art installations and rotating Art exhibitions.  We will be joined by boutique vintners from nearby Sonoma, Napa, as well as regional Marin wineries; all of which will be eager to let you sample and taste their delights - admission is free but there is a wine tasting fee.
Not only will you experience visual arts and culinary treats, you will be accompanied by fine music, some times Classical, other times Jazz.

What better way to relax after a fruitful working week?  The event starts at noon and ends at six, so if you snooze.... well, you know....

See you there!


Last year's event was great!  +Romagosa Fine Arts was there then and will be there again Saturday; drop by and say hello.

After the Show: Images from the Benicia Waterfront

When the Benicia Fine Arts and Jazz Show was all over, it was time to relax and the weather was perfect in this maritime town. Strolling, dreaming, enjoying the warm early evening light, it was all good.
