This is not a hand. Esta no es una mano

Based on Magritte's concept, "this is not a hand". This is a depiction of a hand, precisely my hand grabbing a glass. My shot this January 2018.

Basado en el concepto de Magritte, "'esta no es una mano". Si no es una representación de una mano, precisamente la mía, tomando un vaso. My foto en Enero 2018.

The interesting geography of a spaghetti squash. La interesante geografía de un zapallo spaghetti

He tomado estas fotos hoy al cortar un zapallo spaghetti, los macros me recuerdan una caverna o vestigios arqueológicos. 

I have taken these pictures today while cutting in half a spaghetti squash. These macros remind me a cavern or an archaeological site.

Mickey

Mickey is a Staffordshire Pitbull therapy dog. He is one of my favorite models.

He is attending swimming classes and I'm investigating how to represent his dynamics, specially when he splashes into the water. He has proved to be a great swimmer!

Acrylic on canvas, 16"x20". December 2017.

Gajda. The medicine man

Gajda is a medicine man from Papua, New Guinea. The model has been taken from Kieron Nelson's splendid photograph. I'm thankful to Kieron because this is my first portrait and he allowed me to use this model. More practice is needed but I am still in the process of investigating techniques and color.
