EXODUS

EXODUS

EXODUS
18" x 24"
Oil on Canvas

Dedicated in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King
"Exodus"
#Poem 
by Juan Romagosa

Out of darkness
from the storm
leap out.

Out of shadows
from the darkness
stretch out.

Out of Heaven
from the skies
leap out.

Freed from hallows
past forlorn
dash vast fields
rapture out.

Ascending, descending
dancing above the fray
in flight to dream
to passion live:
Leap of Faith

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 ;)

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.

Benicia, a small city on the North San Francisco Bay sits nicely tucked in the Delta side of the Carquinez Bridge.  Sheltered from the most extreme winds, she nevertheless stands firm in the most extreme tides ebbing and flowing past her shores.  The Benicia Yacht Club makes its home in the Harbor and it is there that some of the Bay's largest yachts are berthed for it's deep waters.
Right next to the club is the First Street Green, running along the waterfront, where Romagosa Fine Arts will join forces with other artists and jazz musicians this weekend (7/30-31) to celebrate the Arts.

Benicia features some of the greatest Bay Area artists in its Arsenal district, an old Navy complex where Arts Benicia Gallery and artist's association are headquartered of which Juan Romagosa is a member.

Take moment's pause from your weekend's chores and nourish your creative side with us Saturday and Sunday at the Benicia Art and Jazz Festival.  Enjoy the music, the warm marine weather, and visit Romagosa Fine Arts.  See you soon!

Musings on the San Anselmo Art Festival

Excellent weather, amazing weather, and a fabulous crowd; could in get any better than that?
It was a good weekend at the San Anselmo Art Festival: delighted onlookers often followed through their initial surprise find - Romagosa Fine Arts - with astute commentary and even more substantial support.  

One particularly memorable exchange came from a gentleman from Toronto who was glad to see our thought-provoking art after his recent experience at the SFMOMA.  A few abstract paintings there reminded him of the story of the Emperor's Clothes - the Emperor was duped into believing he was wearing fine, beautiful clothes, when in fact his tailor had not dressed him at all.  Among the abstract non-art at the museum he referred to a white canvas; that's all it was, a painting of white swirls on white, but was it Art?

It's interesting that art festivals seem to favor one painting over the rest and that varies depending on some unfathomable variable.  This weekends hit was Her Secret; featured above.

"Deliverance"
by Juan Romagosa

Celestial Father
Delivering from the void
gracious gifts of life
manna from Heaven

Terrestrial Mother
receiving from his hands
blessed unity of life
moisture from the clouds

Divine children
suckling from mom's breast
nourishing essence of life
goodness from the soul

Twain duality
feeding frenzy calmed
bonding unity of life
together all as one
