In this surreal still life painting, "Dia De Los Muertos," an original oil on panel, I am attempting to speak to the spirit of life that is with the living even after those beloved to us are departed. The spirit of song contains the soul of the singer and the song writer beyond their lives and continues to affect lives. Life has many games that one can choose to play, both good ones and bad ones. So to speak, we draw the cards we get and hopefully we play them well.   When I was a child we lived in Del Rio, Texas and my father would take me with him to what was then Villa Acuna, Mexico and go the bar in Ma Crosby's Resaurant where he would have the bartender enlist an old cantina guitar player and pay him to play while my dad enjoyed a few Carta Blanca beers and having a smoke while enjoying life.    The level of detail in this painting was most challenging and is not reccomended for beginners. It took me fifty two years.
