VIRGINAL VERGE

At the Sacramento Fine Arts Festival - Convention Center

11/4/11 11/5/11 11/6/11

A young maiden on the verge of maturing is centered in the midst of the life's swirling chaos, letting her inner light shine upon the world.

"Virginal Verge"

by Juan Romagosa

Dreaming sweetly

rise and shine

whirling vortex

sneaks behind

Heart cloistering brightly

in its midst: star-shine

nestled safely

is glowing fine.

Heavenly fires your bosom 

lights with passion

portals of illusion

shadows of confusion.

At the crossroads of your mind

shining bright, sweet divine

windmills swish in time

above the slime.

At the gate

brazen decisions to take

discoveries made

mysteries fade

Enigmatic to the core

the spotlight

in spinning whorl

is glowing bright.

At the precipice

human blight;

at the center

future bright.

Fiesta On The Hill - Bernal Heights

This Sunday (10/16/11) Romagosa Fine Arts will help promote cultural and ethnic diversity at the melting pot neighborhood, Bernal Heights in San Francisco.  

The BHNC (Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center) provides community services for youths, the elderly, and the economically challenged in the form of reasonably priced housing, public safety, as well as Middle and High School after hours programs. 

Convent Dream

Join us in celebrating ethnic pride with Latin American, African American, and Native American and other community members by showcasing artwork like Buckaroo, Lupo et Felicia Reve, and Spirit of America.  Click  the RFA Website to see more representative artwork such as Convent Dream.  We will be featuring art prints, matted photos, and giclees at affordable prices and in various sizes.

Not only will there be Art, there will also be music, food, and a petting zoo specially tailored  for kids.  This is meant to be an inter-generational festivity geared to fostering a family atmosphere while raising awareness and money.

When visiting, be sure to enjoy one of the best views of San Francisco and beyond.  Bernal Height Hill Park is a couple of blocks up and a great place to get away from the crowd, walk the dog and is a reasonable facsimile of an urban wilderness from which to see city.  The view rivals known hot spots like Twin Peaks and Coit Tower.

If your lucky, you might catch some of the best weather San Francisco has to offer since this time of the year falls under what's locally known as Indian Summer and is certainly warmer than fog-bound summer.

So, come to Cortland Ave. between Bocana and Folsom near Cesar Chaves (formerly known as Army Street) from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and enjoy five music bands, good food, and take home some awesome art ;)

BUCKAROO

BUCKAROO

16" X 20"

Oil on Canvas

Buckaroo is derived from the Spanish word Vaquero, meaning Cowboy. 

A child plays make belief and dares

the forces at large.  Toreador.  Ole'! Lasso in hand, the little-boy chases

 a snake under the protective watch of a bull-shaped tree;

angel above, dreams below.

 "Buckaroo"

by Juan Romagosa

Ponder your challenge

innocent child

paso doble balanced

dream of the wild.

Sombrero crowned boy

enacting the king

pretend young cowboy

do your thing.

Mariachi clad vaquero

stalking illusion

acting regal buckaroo

under the sun.

Aspiring to snatch

in magical play

most difficult catch

illusory prey.

Watchfully covered

by bovine gaze

protected and sheltered

by arboreal grace

Bullfighter charro

born to rope

Toreador lasso

slithering hope.
