Very sad, very sad. I am still shocked that today something like this can happened. But I am happy on this day of Christmas( though I am a Sun worshipper) I met you Alfredo. I live in America. Later more. See my Page with my web site. Blue bird :-)
looks like an embryo, cosy, nestled in cotton and candy

Your post on the Soapbox thread reminded me to check back here.
I need a real life hook to appreciate most painting, I'm not good with abstracts without that - your comment about kites gave me the hook for this one and I've been back looking at it several times. It really is full of wind, air and kite tails and I love the colour. It's a beautiful dance. Waz
A few days ago, this painting of mine was severely damaged by my own mistake. I had bought a black, pre-fabricated passe-partout and I assumed it was destined for A4-formats. Yes, it wás, and my painting was also máde at A4 paper.
Bút I had forgotten, that in highth/loweth I had painted the full 100 % space. I did have special care for the top of the painting.
A day later, I discovered, that the "bottom" was "changed".
I did not really think it all over, or had a real look behind the passe-partout and so I painted some more black Acrylic in the right corner, down.
Anóther day later, I discovered, that the passe partout had covored three cm. of the original bottom and that the original was far more dynamic then the "new one".
It could not be repared. At the internet I looked for info. about professional printing services, because the original was now only digital and could at least be printed.
A lady mailed me, that she had seen my painting and she herself had printed it and hung it in her room. She wrote me, that she would be "honoured" with printing it at her sophisticated hardware, including a nice and fitting passe-partout ánd a silver-like phrame with glass.
And there she was, today, with her husband, who paints himself. And there we were, in my room, talking about my other paintings.
Later on we walked to the corner of my street to eat Italian Icecreme and there they told their story. That the had come to know each other 1 1/2 years ago and that they both broke up their marriages to be able to love each other and share their lives together.
So this was a rich day in the life of Alfredo.
The fire of passion, shared with those who live their own passion(s).
From the very beginning, I did not want to give any painting a title. And I still don't want it. But I hád to give them bureaucratic numbers.
And in the end, I like these cold numbers as titles. Why? Because it is a sharp contrast with the contents. It makes it more down to earth, more balanced.
Yes, I like these stupid numbers. They will stay as "titles". They add something positive to the paintings as a whole.
