This first one is an 80th birthday tribute to my favorite director, Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick was also a chess master, who used to play in Washington Square in his youth. It is called, "Beyond the Infinite."
This one is titled, "The Return of Don Quixote," and alludes to the idea that his dulcinea will pick up the sword, don the golden helmet and become the new knight errant.
Lastly, this is to be included in a show that begins next Friday (August 1) and is my first attempt of a painting taken from a live model. Our time was limited, so I used photography and selected a shot from which to paint. Originally, the subject was to be used for "The Return of Don Quixote," but I was not happy that it looked much like my subject, so I started from scratch and did this one. It is nowhere near perfect, but closer than above.
