"Black Males," My oil paintings

Milton and I had nothing on our walls on Waller Street in San Francisco. I guess we were too cheap to buy art. I started painting to have something to put up on the walls. At first, Milton insisted that I did not know what I was doing and he didn't want me to put anything up. Over a period of time, he came to appreciate my art I think. Initially, most of my paintings were of black males. At one point, I had enough paintings of black males to do a show with that as a "theme." After I started doing shows and sold some paintings, it started feeling more like work and I lost interest for the most part. I did do a few of the women in my life, Darlene, Donna and my friend Kathleen.

Beautiful paintings, especially the one of the guy's backside in light and shadow. I think we were neighbors, I lived on Fillmore and Waller from 83 to 88, and went to "The Box".
