The Old American Artist

Semi-autobiographical, written in my early 60s, of my struggles and drive for both my art, and love. Spans several decades, via flashbacks, as the artist, Arturo, spends the day by the seaside in Europe, awaiting his wife's return from the U.S. in time for a long awaited art opening reception of his art nearby. A progression of glimpses from young man, aging, and a young senior, still an artist, still in love.

Upbeat, with many glimpses into moment by moment reflections on works in progress. Written in 2012, was my first fiction since the early 80s. Have continued to paint, now with watercolors!
