Rock of Ages

ROCK OF AGES
by Juan Romagosa

Even the rocks cry out
Innocent love.
Eternally now
Timeless boulders ageless grow.

Stone temple grove
first kiss of love
Neptune's cove
doth childhood foster.

Infant explorers nurture
nature's secret treasure;
God's pure pleasure.

HER SECRET


HER SECRET
36" x 24" 
Oil on Canvas

Surrealist beach scene depicts a woman's coming awareness.  As she views an image in the sand, children witness the vision and transformation in Varadero - Playa Azul, a Cuban beach.


"Her Secret"
by Juan Romagosa

Childhood I enjoyed
on the beach warmly
as time went by tenderly
under the golden sun hotly
maturing.

One day to my innocent face
in the burning sand
a mask of thick hair and smiling aspect
 attached.

Years passed.
Borrowed habits proved
comfortable -
to the found mask
they stuck.

Countenance closed
hot sun encroached.

From afar a warm message of love did arrive.
Blood thus far peacefully coursing
To a sudden boil did come.

Great emotion unleashed
- revelation unmasking
soul saved, by love released.

Shining:
Resplendent love;
Transcendent - adored.

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.

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.

20" x 16"
Oil on Canvas
$3100



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;).

ANNUNCIATION




Annunciation
by Juan Romagosa


SMILES! Smiles! Smiles!
In the day, in company, smiles;
In the heavy air floating, floating, buoyed up by the wind;
Smiles – not a cloud darkening – all bright and shining;
Bright smiles on the mouths of raised heads:
- O who is that Spirit? that form in the light, with smiles?
What shapely mass is that, stretching, reaching there past the clouds?
…away, in the morn, as you fly, all looking –
O then the unloosen’d ocean,
Of smiles! smiles! smiles!

Anecdote: an art collector in Benicia, California loved it for its "joyful reminder of her own children". She dubbed it Lady Godiva.

Gold Moss Landing



Gold painted sky
upon cresting waves of glittering
Precious Orb from on high
dipping to horizon shimmering
Amber light
casting
on ruddy shore golden nuggets bright.
