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.

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.

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.
