Dear Andy 2010 Paintings Page 1

I read in the New York Times that Andy Warhol’s ocean side estate at Montauk, New York was recently sold, so, I made a point of driving out from California to get a feel for the place.

Fifty years ago, Andy was a very busy guy in New York City, he was famous and he was mass producing contemporary art from the images he found in the N. Y. Times.

Montauk wasn’t on Andy’s calendar much. I took a look around and began painting Andy postcards thinking he would have liked that.

 

Latest work first.

 

An Egret was chasing minnows.

Out early fly fishing for Striped Bass and Bluefish when I found a wedding album floating in the surf.
